Background checks are performed on every resident who wants to live at The French Quarter. A credit check is performed separately on the guarantor for each resident.

If you already have other students that you know you would like to live with, you will be placed with them, within the same apartment. If you are looking by yourself you will be matched with other students using our Roommate Matching System. The roommate matching questionnaire is part of your initial application that you fill out prior to signing a lease to live at The French Quarter. We use your answers to this questionnaire and compare them with other applicants’ answers and match everyone accordingly.

We are a student housing facility located in Auburn, AL. Because of our close proximity to Auburn University many of our residents are Auburn students.

But we do also have residents who attend neighboring universities. Contact our leasing office to see if The French Quarter is within a reasonable commute to your college or university!

The French Quarter.

No, there is no fee to apply to live at The French Quarter. There is, however, a $299 Administrative/Facilities Fee once you have decided to complete a lease to live at our property.

The Administrative/Facilities Fee is a nonrefundable annual fee due at lease signing for all applicants and renewals. The fee covers the online application process, renewal lease generation, resident and guarantor screening, annual lock programming, 24-7 access to the online Resident Portal, after-hours call center services, and maintenance of all amenity spaces.

Yes. You may use financial aid proceeds or any other 3rd party payment process to pay for your rent. Typically financial aid proceeds are dispersed directly to the student who in turn can then use those proceeds to pay for housing. If a rental payment is due and the resident has not received their source of aid yet, the resident must arrange an alternate method for payment in order to avoid any late fees added to your account.

To enhance the protection of every College Town Communities resident, each resident is automatically enrolled in our Waiver Program. The Waiver Program provides College Town Communities more complete and comprehensive coverage against costs associated with accidental damages caused by a resident. In turn, the Waiver Program also provides each resident and their guests with protection against damages caused by their potential negligent or accidental behavior while living with College Town Communities.

Under the Waiver Program, you pay $16.00 per installment in addition to your rental payment, and we waive our right to seek reimbursement from you for up to $100,000 per claim of accidental damage to our property from fire, smoke, explosion, water discharge, or sewer back-up.

We highly recommend that you consult your insurance agent about purchasing your own individual renter’s insurance to cover expensive items that you may be bringing to your apartment, such as video game consoles, computers, jewelry, or collectibles.

The lease that all residents will sign contains a section detailing The Waiver Program. There is no need to sign an addendum.

Any resident is allowed to have a guest visit or spend the night at any time without the need to register or sign them in. However, a guest is not allowed to stay for more than 3 days at a time.
