For applicants who do not have a credit history in the US and/or a guarantor, Axis at Davis will accept a prepayment of two installments in lieu of credit/guarantor requirements. Prepaid installments are applied to the last two months of your lease term.

What is LEAP?

Leap fills in for a personal guarantor or parent cosigner, allowing you to sign a lease where you otherwise would not qualify. Leap charges a monthly fee for the term of the lease in order to cosign your lease.

‍

What is a guarantor? Is a guarantor required?

A guarantor is a co-signer for your lease agreement. Because students often don’t have an income, having a guarantor allows us to qualify you for a lease based on your guarantor’s income.

You will list the name and email of your guarantor during the application process, and your guarantor will receive an email to fill out their portion of the application.

We require all residents at Axis at Davis to have a guarantor or sign up for LEAP.

‍

What is an individual lease?

Individual leasing means peace of mind for you. An individual lease is a per-bed lease. You sign a lease for a bed space in the apartment and share common areas with roommates. This means you are only responsible for your own installments. If a roommate transfers to another school or moves out of Axis at Davis for any reason, you do not have to worry about having to cover their portion of rent.
