Lease Details
All leases at Sterling 5th Street begin on September 1st and end on August 15th. Currently, Sterling 5th Street does not offer short-term leases.
Your contract is based on a total amount for the lease term that is divided into 12 equal installments for convenience. Your first installment will be due before picking up your keys on move-in day and the last on August 1st unless you choose to renew and stay at Sterling 5th Street for another year. Due to this, August rent is not prorated.
Rent is due on the 1st of the month and late on the 5th of the month. You will begin receiving late fees on the 5th of the month.
Although we don’t want to see you go, Sterling 5th Street offers a relet process that allows you to find a replacement resident to take over the remainder of your lease contract. Once the new lessee is fully approved, your agreement will be terminated with a relet fee. See our Lease Reassignment page for more details.
