Resident Lease Change Request

Add or Remove a Tenant, Co-Signer, Resident or Roommate

Current residents can use this page to request a change to the people connected with their rental home. Submitting the form starts the review process. It does not automatically approve a new occupant or release anyone from the lease.

Approval is required before occupancy changes. A proposed new tenant, resident, or roommate should not move into the home until Rice Real Estate & Property Management has completed the review and provided written approval.
