The lease does not provide specific terms for cancellation during the term if you are still attending UNC. However, the lease does provide guidelines (page 5, item #14, last paragraph in bold).
In the interest of being fair and consistent with all of our customers, we have set a predetermined policy at the start of each leasing season so that policies are implemented in a uniform manner. For the Fall 2026/Spring 2027 term, the options are as follows:
The resident is responsible for their lease, but may recruit a replacement tenant to fill their “space” at Granville Towers. In order to serve as a replacement tenant:
- The replacement tenant must be enrolled at UNC for the term of the lease.
- The individual cannot have an existing application or lease with us for the term of the lease (2026-2027). This policy is explained in item #29 of your lease, Assignment.
- The Replacement Tenant Form must be completed and submitted to the Leasing Manager in writing prior to them applying online (or in person) to satisfy the assignment requirement.
- Antyon Henson, Leasing Manager, contact information: (919) 424-0047 or AnHenson@AmericanCampus.com.
- Pay a $200 relet fee.
If Granville Towers has a waiting list at any point after, we will do our best to assist in finding a replacement tenant that wishes to live at Granville Towers. If we have a waiting list and can replace your lease, you would owe a relet fee of $200.
