What are per-person contracts?

Instead of requiring all roommates to sign a joint lease, each person at The Lyndon has their own individual contract, with one person per bedroom. This means you are only responsible for paying for yourself — not your roommates. Even if a roommate moves out or other bedrooms in your apartment are empty, you only pay the rate for your bedroom.

Each resident at The Lyndon pays a flat rate that includes:

  • Furnishings
