I have a May 31 Lease and wish to renew
As a current resident of an apartment, if you wish to renew — defined as continuing to live in the specific room you are currently residing in with no bedroom or room type changes — you will need to sign a lease for the 2008-2009 academic year. Requests for Lease renewal should be sent to housinghelp@learnlink.emory.edu, including the following information:

• Your full name
• Your student ID number
• Your current apartment assignment (building, room, and bedroom)
• One (1) sentence stating you wish to renew your Lease

Following receipt of your request, you will be contacted via email when your Leases are ready for your signature. Leases will be available to you at the President Park Office when notified.

Please know your end date selection before coming to sign your Lease. The deadline for renewal requests is Friday, March 14, 2008.

Please note that these extension requests are for those who wish to renew only. If you wish to renew but change bedrooms or apartment type, please note that requests for a change will not be able to be processed until after the Lease renewal period is over on Friday, March 14, 2008. If you wish to pursue making a change, you may proceed in one of two ways:

• You may renew as described above and put in a request to change. This action would secure your current assignment in the unlikely event a change could not be made.
• You may submit a request to change and renew. These requests will not be processed until the week of March 17, 2008 and you will be notified if a change can be made. Only select this option if you plan to vacate if your change is not accommodated.

Change requests should be sent separately to housinghelp@learnlink.emory.edu and should include:

• Subject line of email should state either "PPA request to change" or "PPA request to change and renew"
• Your full name
• Your student ID number
• Your current apartment assignment (building, room, and bedroom)
• Complete information on the change you wish to make (type of apartment, bedroom, etc.)
