Rent is due and payable in advance on the 1st of each
month. Accounts outstanding after the tenth of each month are
subject to a $50 late fee. We cannot accept rental checks in

c/o Elm Campus Partners, LLC
P.O. Box 1306
New Haven, CT 06505
Elm Campus Partners, LLC is proud to mange Yale’s residential
portfolio of 500 apartments in the Downtown and Science Hill areas
of New Haven, CT. ECP leasing agents are General Agents on behalf
of Yale University and will represent the Landlord in all rental
transactions. Our properties are available for twelve-month leasing
to full-time Yale affiliates. Leases are reserved for students,
faculty and staff, with a priority given to students.
While all people are welcome at ECP managed properties, for
maintenance reasons we cannot permit animals as residents.
Elm Campus Partners, LLC and Yale University work together to set
rental rates each year. Our properties remain commensurate with
market pricing in New Haven. We offer a wide array of rental sizes
and locations to meet the needs of a diverse clientele. Please check
our Rental Properties for more specific pricing information.
Yale University and Elm Campus Partners, LLC urge all tenants to
obtain Renter’s Insurance for your possessions. We cannot insure
your valuables; only you can do so. Insurance against loss or
damage due to theft, fire, smoke, water damage or other perils
is very important and relatively inexpensive, especially when
compared to the cost of a potential loss of your property.
If you need a good way to protect your belongings, consider insuring
them through low-cost student personal property coverage, available from Haylor,
Freyer & Coon.

Pending authorization, you are welcome to sublease your apartment to
a Yale affiliate for any portion of your lease term. Current
tenants should contact us to receive our Subleasing Information
Packet in the office or by pdf attachment. The Packet contains
suggestions for governing your relationship with your subtenant and
a form to complete with your subtenant and return to us for
approval.
Please bear in mind that primary lease responsibilities remain the
original tenant’s obligation, not the sublessee’s. Should the
sublessee not pay the rent or damage the apartment in any way, we
will look to the tenant for compensation. We cannot broker
arrangements between tenants and sublessees. It is critical that we
have all subtenants on file in case they become locked out of the
unit or need to request any maintenance service. We cannot let
people into our apartments if they are not on file at our office.
Residents are responsible for the full term of their lease
agreements. If a tenant becomes aware that he or she will
vacate an apartment before the full lease term expires, that tenant should submit a
Release Request in writing to ECP.
We will list
the apartment as available on our website and we will contact all
interested applicants on our waiting lists. We will do our best to
find a new tenant to rent the apartment starting on the date the
resident wishes to vacate, but if we cannot find a new tenant for
that date the resident will remain responsible for the monthly
rental payments until the end of the lease term or until a new
tenant leases the apartment.
My roommate is joining the Peace Corps, but I’d like to stay in the
apartment with a new co-tenant. How can we go about documenting a
Change of Roommates?
If one or more members of your group should wish to be removed from
leasing reasonability at the apartment, or, space and terms of your
lease allowing, you should decide to add another individual to your
lease, we will be happy to work with you to process the Change of
Roommate request. We will need all vacating roommates to email their
confirmation that they do not wish to share in future leasing
responsibilities at the apartment. Once we hear from all parties that
intend to move out, we will prepare a new set leasing documents with the
names you indicate. If a departing tenant made contributions to the
security deposit, we will refund the appropriate amount to that person
upon their departure. We will need a written statement from the
departing tenant(s) and the remaining tenant(s) indicating the
amount to be disbursed to the departing tenant(s).
To complete the renewal, all new roommates (excluding family members)
will need to come to our office to sign the leasing documents. This
process should take approximately 30 minutes. The new roommate(s)
should be prepared to provide a share of the security deposit that
corresponds to the amount the departing roommate will receive upon their
departure.
Please note that there is a $50 lease processing fee for a change of
roommates due to the additional paperwork and accounting time involved;
this payment must be in a separate check from the security deposit
funds, as it will be deposited in a different account.
Yes.
Absolutely. Our mission is to build a strong relationship with our
tenants. We know that happy tenants make the best tenants, so we will do
everything we can to keep you happy. In the event of an emergency, our
phone lines are open 24 hours a day and we are able to offer round the
clock maintenance services. You can also
call us
or
file a request online
24/7 for routine service operations. We are always just a phone call or
a few key strokes away.
We chose the name “Elm Campus Partners” to reflect our relationship with
our tenants. Elm is for the historic Elm City we all share;
Campus is for the community of scholars that we serve; and
Partners represents our partnership with you in making the Yale
community and New Haven a great place to live.
All properties are owned by Yale
University and are situated around the Downtown and Science Hill
campuses. Most tenants choose to get around campus on foot or by
bike. The Yale shuttle and bus routes connect the campus and allows
for rapid travel between classrooms, labs, and our residences. You
are never very far from any Yale building or community hot spot when
you’re in an ECP apartment.
To learn about buses, shuttles &
parking, please visit the
Campus Transportation website.

we will enter your preferences and contact information in our Queue

the summer, some of our properties will become available throughout
the year; don’t hesitate to submit an application so we can begin
working with you to find a home.
