What is the Waiver Program?
Each resident is required to have at least $100,000 in legal liability coverage for any potential damage to the leased premises for the entire duration of their lease. This liability coverage protects each resident against major damage to the leased premises. Signing up for The Waiver Program automatically satisfies this lease liability requirement. A $16.00 fee will be automatically added to your resident ledger each month.
The Waiver Program is not renter’s insurance. It provides up to $100,000 in legal liability coverage for damage to the landlord's property from fire, smoke, explosion, or water. It does not cover a resident’s personal belongings or damage to other residents' personal property. Although carrying third-party renter's insurance isn't required if you enroll in the Waiver Program, we highly recommend each resident get renter's insurance to protect their personal property.
Can I opt-out of the Waiver Program?
Any resident can opt-out of the Waiver Program by simply providing complete information for alternate coverage that satisfies the $100,000 legal liability coverage required by the lease agreement. Residents can purchase their own policy through any insurance carrier. Projected monthly costs for this coverage will vary by provider.
To use an alternate policy, each resident must upload proof prior to moving in, while using the email address from their initial lease application to: https://www.ho4verify.com/resident_portal/CollegeTown
Your policy document must show:
You as the named or additional insured
The lease address as the insured location
Personal liability coverage of at least $100,000
Community Name - PO Box 19219, Atlanta, GA 31126 listed as an additional insured
Can financial aid, scholarships, or loans be used toward rent?
Yes. You may use financial aid proceeds or any other 3rd party payment process to pay for your rent. Typically financial aid proceeds are dispersed directly to the student who in turn can then use those proceeds to pay for housing. If a rental payment is due and the resident has not received their source of aid yet, the resident must arrange an alternate method for payment in order to avoid any late fees added to your account.
Can guests stay overnight?
Any resident is allowed to have a guest visit or spend the night at any time without the need to register or sign them in. However, a guest is not allowed to stay more than 3 consecutive days in one month. Guests must obtain a digital guest parking pass through the QR code displayed in the designated guest parking spots. Guests must be accompanied by the tenant whom they are visiting at all times.
Will I have a private bedroom and bathroom?
Each townhouse includes three bedrooms.
In The Collegiate and The Dean’s List floor plans, two bedrooms are private and include en-suite bathrooms. The third bedroom is a shared bedroom with a shared bathroom; however, each resident has their own private vanity.
In The Collegiate Premier Bedroom and The Dean’s List Premier Bedroom floor plans, all three bedrooms are private with en-suite bathrooms. The third bedroom, located on the second floor, has been expanded into a significantly larger private bedroom.
Are there laundry facilities?
Yes. Each townhouse has their own in-unit washer and dryer.
Are pets allowed?

Limit one pet per resident and two pets per unit.
Is parking available on-site?
Parking spaces are available to residents for $20 per month. To park in the onsite lot, all residents must obtain a Parking Permit Sticker from the Leasing Office. Vehicles parked in The Hollis parking lot without a valid permit will be towed upon discovery, at the owner's expense. These measures ensure safe, well-lit parking remains available for residents who pay for parking. Visitor parking is available on a first-come, first-served basis in designated areas throughout the property. Guests must obtain a digital guest parking pass through the QR code displayed in the designated guest parking spot. Any guest not registered or parked wrongfully in resident parking will be towed at the owner's expense.
Is alcohol permitted in my unit?
Assuming you are of the legal age, you may consume alcohol in your apartment. No alcohol is permitted in the outdoor areas and we ask you to respect all community guidelines.
May I paint the walls?
No. The units are already painted. You may decorate your unit with posters, tapestries, lights, etc. Please use thumb tacks or nails when hanging things on the walls. Do not use tape, glue, gummy poster hangers, 3M double sided sticky pads, etc. Do not use wall decals, as they will delaminate the face of the drywall. Any unnecessary damage to the unit walls could lead to you having to pay for repairs.
