Frequently Asked Questions

What does it mean to have an individual lease?

Individual leasing means that each person is only responsible for their portion of the common areas and their bedroom. If your roommate ends up not coming back for the spring semester, you’re not responsible for their payment.

What is included in the rent?

The Viridian’s rent makes life easy. Your rent includes: utilities (water, sewer, trash), Wireless Internet, electricity with a $30 cap, and access to all of The Viridian’s amenities, and a wonderful staff that is there to help you anytime you need them.

Do you have a roommate matching system?

Yes, we offer a roommate matching system. If you don’t have anyone in mind that you would like to live with, let us match you up with someone! There is a Roommate Matching Sheet that you will fill out to let us know more about what you’re looking for in a roommate. Then, we spend weeks in the summer figuring out the best match for you based on that information.

When is my rent due?

Rent is always due the 1st of the month. You can pay up front (due August 1), in semester installments (due August 1 and January 1), or in twelve equal installments (due August 1 and on the first of the month for the next 11 consecutive months).

How do I pay my rent?

Pay with a personal check, money order, or cashier’s check. Pay with a credit card online through The Viridian’s Resident Portal. Service fee may apply.* Have your financial institution automatically deduct rent from your bank account each month to send in payment. Pay with check online using your resident portal free of charge!

Do you allow pets?

Pets are allowed at The Viridian.

Is there insurance coverage in the event of a fire, theft or natural causes? Does my lease provide coverage for my belongings?

The Viridian’s insurance will not cover your personal belongings. We suggest getting renter’s insurance for this reason. It is generally inexpensive and will cover your personal belongings if something were to happen.

What if I need to break my lease or don't return for the spring semester?

The Viridian’s lease is binding and cannot be broken. If you cannot live at The Viridian after signing your lease, you will need to re-let, or find a replacement for your space. Please call the leasing office for information on re-letting.

What if I need maintenance in my bedroom or apartment?

If you need maintenance, simply go to your resident portal on our website and fill out a maintenance request. You can also call or stop by the front desk. If it is an emergency, please notify the front office immediately.

What furniture is provided?

The Viridian is fully furnished with a queen-sized bed, dresser, large desk and chair. The living area comes with a comfortable couch, chair, coffee table, an entertainment stand and a 55” smart TV. The kitchen comes fully equipped with stainless steel appliances, full sized refrigerator with ice-maker, bar stools, dishwasher, and washer & dryer.

How do I receive mail and packages?

Your mail will be delivered to your apartment’s mailbox located on The Viridian’s property. If you receive a package that doesn’t fit in the mailbox, you will receive a key in your mailbox with instructions to pick up from the nearby parcel locker. All packages delivered to the office will be logged in and residents will receive a email to come pick them up!

Are leases for families with children available?

Yes. The Viridian's policy is included here for family occupants with a child(ren) under the age of eighteen (18) who is domiciled with (i) at least one parent, legal guardian, or another person having legal custody of the child under the age of eighteen, or (ii) the designee of such parent or other person having such custody, with written permission of such parent or other person. For family households with children, all household members age eighteen (18) or older must: (A) complete an application, and (B) sign the lease as a Resident. For family households with children under the age of eighteen (18), at least two (2) people will be permitted to occupy a single bedroom. If a family household with children under the age of eighteen (18) requires additional occupancy per bedroom, additional occupants may be allowed on a case-by-case basis based on factors including, but not limited to, the size of the bedroom(s) and unit, age of the children, configuration of the unit, any physical limitations of The Viridian, and local occupancy codes. If the child occupant reaches eighteen (18) years of age during the term of the lease, the lease will be allowed to complete its term, but renewal will only be offered in compliance with the occupancy policy as stated. Child occupants who are under twenty-four (24) months at the time the lease is signed will not be counted under the occupancy policy for purposes of maximum occupancy but will be counted for subsequent leases if they reach the age of twenty-four (24) months during the term of the lease. The Landlord has the right to lease any empty bedroom(s). Families should contact the office directly regarding the application for family households, as this process varies from individual leasing and the required forms are not all available electronically.

Individual Leases

Individual leasing means peace of mind for you. Your financial responsibility is only for your student’s space unlike many apartments or rental houses where a joint lease is signed. If a roommate transfers to another school or moves out of The Viridian for any reason, you do not have to worry about having to cover their portion of rent. This is just another reason why The Viridian is UNT & TWU student’s best housing option!

On-site Professional Staff

Our maintenance staff will respond to your student’s maintenance issues quickly and professionally. The Viridian offers 24-hour emergency maintenance as well so that your student’s comfort is not affected.

Affordable Floor Plans

The Viridian offers many spacious floor plan options so they will easily be able to find one to suit their needs. We have one-bedroom, two-bedroom, and four-bedroom apartments. They each have their own bedroom and bathroom. Your student’s rent includes utilities (water, sewer, trash), wired and Wi-Fi Internet, furniture, access to The Viridian’s amenities, and so much more!

Fully Furnished

The Viridian is a fully-furnished community, saving you money! Each student will have a queen-sized bed, large desk and chair, spacious walk-in closet, and a private bathroom. The living area comes with a comfortable couch, chair, coffee table, an entertainment stand, smart 55” TV, and in-unit washer and dryer. The kitchen comes fully equipped with quartz countertops with an extended bar area with bar stools provided, stainless steel appliances, full size refrigerator with ice-maker, dishwasher, and washer & dryer.

Roommate Matching

If your student does not have a roommate in mind, we can find them one! Each roommate will fill out a Roommate Matching form so that we know what they are looking for in a roommate. During the summer, we spend weeks looking at these preferences and matching them up with the best person we can find!

Resident Events to Keep Students Involved

While the main focus of your student’s college career will be about graduating and getting a fulfilling job, they also need to have fun along the way. At The Viridian, your student will create life-long relationships and connections that will make them even more successful. Our great staff plans monthly resident events to get them involved. These events range from pizza parties to karaoke nights, from resume building classes to gaming tournaments. Annually, The Viridian will have events such as a Welcome Back Party at the beginning of the fall semester, Resident Appreciation nights at the beginning of the spring semester, and a large competition among the residents and staff, as well as, many holiday events throughout the year. We will also keep our residents connected to events going on at UNT & TWU, as well as, events happening around town so they don’t miss anything! We want your student to succeed, and that’s why we thought of them while designing The Viridian as a Living-Learning environment!
