General Leasing Questions

Is parking available?

Parking is available in GrandMarc's parking garage for a monthly charge. The garage has parking available on every level with direct access to each floor and two elevators dedicated to the garage itself. Parking is slightly more affordable on the top of the garage in the open air. All spaces are assigned to residents and the parking garage is gated and private. Each resident that rents a parking space will be provided with a garage door opener to allow you access to the parking garage.

 

Can I use my financial aid?

Yes, however, you should be sure to check with your scholarship/loans/grants, etc to make sure you can apply Financial Aid to off-campus housing. While GrandMarc and TCU have a close relationship, we do not share financial information. This means that YOU are responsible for the payment, not the University or Financial Aid department/company. We do not accept deferments; you must have the money given to you in some form and then you can pay us.

When can I move in?

This will depend on the date on the front of your lease agreement. Generally all fall leases start on a single day shortly before the semester begins. If you are moving in at any other time of year, you will need to reference your lease for the exact date.

What is the cost?

Please contact us at the leasing office at 817-924-2900 for leasing information!

Will you send me a bill each month for rent?

We do not send invoices for your Rent. Your copy of the lease serves as your bill.

Yes. All leases are required to have a guarantor. If an approved guarantor cannot be obtained, Greystar will accept a security deposit of three (3) month's rent.

What do I need to do if I receive a package?

You will receive a notification from Entrata when a larger package is logged in the leasing office.
