FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Individual Leases

Individual leasing means peace of mind for you. Your financial responsibility is only for your student’s space unlike many apartments or rental houses where a joint lease is signed. If a roommate transfers to another school or moves out of Catamount Peak for any reason, you do not have to worry about having to cover their portion of rent. This is just another reason why Catamount Peak is your student’s best housing option!

Roommate Matching

If your student does not have a roommate in mind, we can find them one! Each roommate will fill out a Roommate Matching form so that we know what they are looking for in a roommate. We offer a utility cap on on select units. During the summer, we spend weeks looking at these preferences and matching them up with the best person we can find!

What is included in the rent?

Catamount Peak rent includes: Internet, water, sewer, trash & recycling, washer & dryer, and access to all of Catamount Peak’s amenities, and a wonderful staff that is there to help you anytime you need them.

When is my installment due?

You have three installment payment options to pay the entire amount due under the lease – one installment, two installments, or twelve installments.  If you choose to pay a single installment for the entire amount, that single installment is due August 1.  If you choose to pay in two semester installments, those installments are due August 1 and January 1.  If you choose to pay in twelve installments, the first installment is due on August 1 and the remaining eleven installments are due on the 1st of the next eleven months.  Please note that these are all installment payment options and not monthly rent. We accept payment via check, money order, or through the online system.

Do you allow pets?

Yes! Catamount Peak is Pet friendly. Our one time non-refundable $400 deposit and $15 monthly pet rent is due before your furry friend can join you. Fees are waived for ESA and Service animals.

What if I need to break my lease or don't return for the spring semester?
