For parents

The grown-up page

Individual leases, a guarantor step online, an all-inclusive installment, a locally owned building with a professional team on site and 24-hour maintenance. Everything else on this site is for your student. This page is for you.

THE LEASE

By the bedroom

Your student signs for their own bedroom and bath. A roommate who leaves or falls behind doesn't affect your student's lease. Terms run August to July.

THE COST

All-inclusive

One installment covers furniture, internet, cable, water (to a cap), the washer and dryer and every amenity. Electricity is split among roommates. Pay in one, two or twelve installments.

THE PEOPLE

Locally owned

Developed and owned by Charles Street Partners, managed on site by Cardinal Group. A leasing team you can call, and maintenance around the clock.

A private studio

Privacy, if they want it

A studio with a front door

Private studios and one-bedrooms give a student their own kitchen, bath and quiet, at a rate closer to a shared home than you'd expect. Same building, same rooftop, same team.

“Came in for a tour and my decision was easy. The property speaks for itself, from the beautiful, well-kept amenities to the spacious floor plans. The pickleball court sealed the deal for me.”

Parents' FAQ

The questions you ask

Guarantors, payments, insurance, safety. If it isn't here, call; a person answers.


What am I signing as a guarantor?
A guaranty of your student's individual lease only: their bedroom and their share of the common areas. You are not guaranteeing a roommate's rent. The guaranty is completed online as part of the application.
When are payments due, and can I pay them?
Installments are due August 1 and the first of each month after that (or in one or two installments if you prefer). Anyone can pay through the resident portal, and autopay can be set up from a parent's account.
What does the installment include?
Furniture, internet, cable, water up to a $10 monthly cap, the washer and dryer, and every amenity. Electricity is split among roommates and billed separately.
Is renters insurance required?
Yes, with at least $100,000 in liability coverage and The Renegade listed as an interested party. If it isn't uploaded before move-in, the $15/month liability program plus $8 content protection applies automatically.
How is the building secured?
Controlled-access entries and elevators, a professional team on site during office hours, 24-hour emergency maintenance, and package lockers so deliveries are never left at a door.
Who do I call if something goes wrong?
The leasing office, during hours, at (850) 809-9805, or text (833) 904-8178. Emergency maintenance is available around the clock through the front office line.
Can I see the lease before we apply?
Yes. A sample lease and guarantor form are on the floor plans page, and the leasing team will walk through either one with you on the phone.
Where should we stay when we visit?
Our favorite hotels are below, all within a few minutes of Chapel Drive. Book through the links and mention The Renegade.
