Many students find the flexible lease one of the great advantages of living in the WMU Apartments. Four lease periods, one for each semester or session, permit you more flexibility than found with typical yearlong leases off-campus. If your lease is not renewed within the specified time, it will automatically terminate at the end of the semester. Requests to extend a lease are granted when absolutely necessary and then only for short periods of time - usually no more than one or two days. A Lease Extension Form, available at the WMU Apartments Office, will need to be completed prior to the end of the semester.
Single students are jointly and severally responsible for the terms and conditions of the lease.
You remain eligible to be a WMU Apartment resident as long as you are enrolled for and complete six credit hours each Fall and Winter semester. If you are married, either you or your spouse may meet the eligibility requirement, but credit hours from both of you may not be combined to maintain eligibility. Active enrollment is not required during the Spring and Summer session. Rent is due and should be paid in full on the first day of every month , and is considered late if it is not paid by the second working day of the month for which it applies. Your rent check should be made payable to Western Michigan University and received by the Customer Account Services Office in the Siebert Administration Building.
