Can I lease an apartment at Chapter Madison if I’m an International Student?
Yes! We welcome anyone that meets our rental criteria.
-
What documents do I need to provide in order to sign my lease?
The Chapter Madison management team will need a copy of your Passport and your I-20/F-1 Student Visa If you are not a student, you will need to provide your Passport and L-1 Visa that is valid through the entire lease term.
-
Do I still need a guarantor to qualify?
Nope! Chapter Madison offers multiple qualification methods to help you qualify for your lease agreement. If you would like to qualify using a guarantor, your guarantor must have a US Social Security Number and meet Chapter Madison’s standard income and credit requirements.

What if I do not have a US Guarantor?
If you do not have a US Guarantor, you can still qualify in other ways. One option is through a PPA (Prepaid Payment Agreement), where you prepay your last two installments which allows you to meet the requirements without a guarantor.
Alternatively, you can apply with Leap to waive needing a guarantor. If approved, there is a small monthly fee that will be added to your rent.
