Frequently Asked Questions

Our online application is easy and only takes 15 minutes to complete. Start by creating your account. If you do not meet our creditor requirements, you might be asked to provide a guarantor when signing your lease. If you have any questions about policies, availability, and pricing, don’t hesitate to contact our leasing office.

When you lease an apartment at The Link Evanston, you’ll sign your own lease agreement. That means that you will be responsible for your portion of the rent, and nobody else’s. The rent you pay pertains to your bedroom and your share of the total cost of the unit. No more worrying about anybody’s finances but your own! 

At The Link Evanston, we don’t require cosigners for our leases. Instead, we require guarantors. Learn about guarantors below.

A guarantor is a third party outside of a tenant and a landlord that ensures the timely, full payment of rent. Usually, these are financially stable individuals close to The Link Evanston residents.
