What Happens to Your Lease if You Can’t Study in the U.S?

We understand that international students are facing increased challenges in getting their visas approved. Due to Executive Order 13899 and other recent policies, U.S. Embassies have become much more strict when reviewing visa applications.

To support students impacted by these changes, we’re offering a special lease exception for the 2025–2026 academic year. If a student is still waiting on—or has been denied—a visa or I-20 and is unable to travel to the U.S. as a result, they will be allowed to cancel their lease without being held responsible for the full term’s rent.

Our goal is to make this process as fair and stress-free as possible during an already uncertain time.

You can end your lease if at least one of the following happens:

• You don’t get the required student visa or Form I-20 to study in the U.S.
• Government travel restrictions stop you from going to the U.S. for University.
• Border and customs officials detain and deport you, even if you had the right documents.

However, you cannot cancel your lease if:

• You choose not to travel to the U.S. on your own.
• Your University or college rejects you for reasons not related to the issues above.

• Send a written request to management by August 1, 2025 (this date might change based on the school semester).
• Clearly state that you want to use the Provisional Lease Termination Agreement option.
• Include proof that you meet at least one valid reason for lease termination.

Once Management reviews and approves your request and documents, they will start the lease termination process.

The required documents depend on the reason for termination, but these are generally accepted:

• Student visa denial letter from a U.S. Embassy or consulate.
• Form I-20 denial letter from your University or college.
• Official removal document from Homeland Security confirming deportation.
• Notification from university or college of enrollment denial due to immigration restrictions

Make sure your documents are clear, official and match your specific situation!

Application Fees will not be refunded since they cover charges from third-party background screening services. However, once the account is closed, you will receive a refund for:

• Administrative Fees
• Deposits
• Prepaid Rent

This ensures that students are reimbursed for eligible payments while maintaining fair lease policies.

For any lease cancelled under this program, we will enter into a new lease at the cancelled lease rate, provided that there is availability, should you be admitted to the United States in the same Academic Year as your original lease.
