Renewal offers are sent out early in the lease term due to UVA's competitive housing market. It will arrive in your online portal mid-August to early September. This form, once signed, will extend your lease a year and gives you the opportunity to decide if you'd like to stay at Venable Court for the next school year. You will also be able to use this opportunity to change names on the lease. For instance, if 2 of your roommates are staying for the next year and 2 are graduating, you can find 2 people to replace them on the lease. They will need to apply and be approved by management at RPI. Contact the leasing office or follow the instructions on your renewal form for more information.
