Do you lease rooms?

No, since we are a non-undergraduate community, each lease is for the entire apartment home.

Do you pre-lease apartments?

Charlottesville is a university-centric city, which means our leases generally follow a similar schedule as the University of Virginia. Because many people want to reserve their apartment with enough time to adequately prepare an out of town move, Jefferson Ridge uses a waiting list. For more information on how the waiting list works, please contact us.

How do I apply?

You will have several options for application submission. The most popular and easiest way is to apply securely on our website, but you may also apply in person at our office or mail your application.

Normal processing time for most applications is 1-2 business days.

As part of our screening process, Jefferson Ridge uses a third-party qualifying software for credit screening. Income and landlord references are also taken into account.

What happens after I am approved?

If you are approved, Jefferson Ridge will draft a lease and forward it to you for review. After you review the drafted lease it needs to be signed and returned within 24 hours. It is not an official lease until both parties have signed.

Whose name has to be on the lease?

Any adult who will be occupying the apartment home must have their name on the lease; for somes cases a co-sogner is required as well. If you would like to add a roommate in the future, Jefferson Ridge will be happy to assist you in adding him or her to your lease; you can contact the office for more details.

When can I move in?

Your lease begins at 4 pm on the first day of your lease. If you need to move in earlier, you can call the office to inquire if special arrangements are possible. We need at least three business days to prepare an apartment when one resident moves out. If we are able to accommodate you before 4 pm, we will gladly let you know.

What do I need to pay when I move in?

On the first day of your lease, you will pay the first month’s rent and utility fee (pro-rated if applicable) and the pet fee (if applicable). Your security deposit is due at the time of lease signing.
