Because we lease on a first-come-first-served basis, and availability is extremely limited, we can offer a Non-Enrollment Addendum, which means you can sign your lease now and secure your spot at our current rates, and if you don’t get into the University of Michigan, all you need to do is send us proof that you weren’t accepted and you can get out of your lease! Contact us today to learn more!
We offer several options to apply and sign up to live at Z Place Apartments. Students can apply with a guarantor as long as they are at least 25 years old, have a U.S. Social Security Number, and pass a credit and income check. Students applying with a guarantor are required to pay a security deposit. If you do not have a qualifying guarantor, there are three other ways to qualify.
- Self-Qualify: If you have a U.S. Social Security Number, make 3x your monthly base rent, and can pass a credit check, you may opt to Self-Qualify. All Self-Qualifying applicants must provide proof of their income via three consecutive pay stubs and are required to have a security deposit equal to two installments of the base rent.
- Guarantor Waiver Program (GWP): If you are a full-time student and do not have a qualifying guarantor, you may opt to use our GWP. You will need to send proof of full-time enrollment and sign a Guarantor Waiver Program Addendum. GWP applicants are required to pay an additional monthly fee and pay a security deposit.
- International (I20): If you are an international student who does not have a qualifying guarantor, you may apply with your I20. International applicants are required to pay a security deposit equal to two installments of their base rent and send proof of their I20.
Note that all Security Deposits are refundable, pending your move-out inspection and any damages to your apartment.
While there is no set deadline, our availability and rates are first-come-first-served. The only way to secure your spot at Z Place Apartments is by completing the application and lease in full. We recommend signing as soon as possible and are happy to help guide you through this process and answer any questions you may have.
Z Place Apartments is conveniently located near the University of Michigan campus, as well as Ann Arbor’s most popular restaurants, shops, entertainment spots, and parks.
When you apply, there is an option to list your preferred roommates. Once getting approved, to confirm you will be living with your preferred roommates, each individual resident will register for Room Sync, our Roommate Matching Program. From there, you can “sync up” on the app, which is what notifies our office that you want to live together!
We lease individually, by the bed, so you can sign your individual housing contract and lock in your spot as soon as you’re ready, regardless of your roommates. However, we cannot hold spots for preferred roommates or anyone since we lease on a first-come, first-served basis. To ensure you and any friends can live together, we recommend signing at the same time if possible.
We offer fully virtual leasing for your convenience, so you are not required to come in person! To get started, you’ll first hit the “Apply Now” button on our website! From there, you’ll fill out all seven steps of your non-binding application, submit (and pay any fees if applicable), and once your lease is generated, to officially secure your spot, you will initial and sign all documents depending on how your application type/how you’re qualifying, there may be additional steps required prior to screening and lease approval. Please contact our office with any questions to ensure your account gets screened and approved asap!
