Policy Guidelines

Introduction

Welcome to The Brentwood Student Housing policy guidelines page. The following information provides the policies and procedures for our apartment community and defines the tenants’ responsibility as a member of the community.  Unawareness of the guidelines will not be accepted as an excuse for any violation.

All federal, state, and local laws affecting the Town of Canandaigua are in effect at The Brentwood. Violations of these laws are also violations of The Brentwood polices and will result in outside law enforcement, eviction, or both. Failure to comply with any authorized personnel will result in immediate eviction. 

Tenant / Guarantor Liability:
Tenants under the age of 21 will need a Guarantor to co-sign the lease.  Guarantors will be held liable for all actions of the tenant including financial obligations.

Eligibility

You must be enrolled as a full-time student at Finger Lakes Community College (FLCC).

Indebtedness

Any tenant with an outstanding balance prior to the term will not be permitted to reside on the premises.  Any tenant leaving FLCC for financial, academic, and/or disciplinary circumstances is still responsible for any and all rents under the terms of the lease.

Residency Requirement

The lease is binding for the entire term stated.

Security Deposit

Tenants are required to pay a $300.00 security deposit to secure a space at The Brentwood.

Room Assignments

In making apartment assignments, The Brentwood will not honor any requests for assignments or room changes which discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, ancestry, disability, or sexual orientation.  Whenever possible tenants will be assigned to their preferred location and/or roommate.

The Brentwood does provide cohabitation in apartments, after given permission by guarantors in person to the landlord.

Cancellation Before Move-In

Tenants who cancel their lease by July 15th are eligible for a full refund of their deposit. The $300.00 security deposit is not refundable after July 15th.  Any cancellation after July 15th will result in the tenants and/or guarantors responsibility to obtain a tenant that meets landlords’ approval.

Alcohol / Drug Regulations

Tenants or guests, invitees, and visitors of tenants prohibit the consumption, possession, or evidence of alcoholic beverages regardless of age or circumstances.

Violation of the New York State Drug law is prohibited.  This includes use, sale or possession of any drug, plant, narcotic, or controlled substance. 

Behavior which is dangerous to oneself or others and/or disturbs the learning and/or living environment at The Brentwood is strictly prohibited.

Tenants found in violation of the Alcohol / Drug Policy will face immediate eviction and be subject to disciplinary action under the FLCC Student Code of Conduct.

Additionally, any tenant eviction will result in the rent payment for the entire term of the lease.
