What Furniture Comes Included?
Every bedroom at Tradition on Rio comes fully furnished with a full-size bed and bed frame, two dresser drawers, a desk, and a desk chair. In the living room, you’ll find a couch, a loveseat (excluding studios), a coffee table, and bar stools for apartments that feature a kitchen bar top.
Tradition on Rio’s monthly installment payments provide residents with extended cable, Internet access, an in-unit washer and dryer, and access to our community amenities!
We recommend bringing items such as your personal belongings, clothes, bedding, toiletries, pots/pans/dishes/silverware, and any decorations! The major furniture/appliances will be in your apartment prior to move-in to make it super simple! Also, bring a Photo ID so that you can check in and receive your keys on move-in day!
Because we lease on a first come-first serve basis, and availability can be extremely limited, we can offer a Non-Enrollment Addendum. This means you can sign your lease and secure your spot at our current rates, and if you don’t get into UT Austin, all you need to do is send us proof that you weren’t accepted, and you can get out of your lease. For more information on this, contact our leasing office today.
We offer several options to apply and sign up to live at The Retreat at Fayetteville. Students can apply with a guarantor as long as they are at least 25 years old, have a U.S. Social Security Number, and pass a credit and income check. Students applying with a guarantor are required to pay a security deposit. If you do not have a qualifying guarantor there are three other ways to qualify.
- Self-Qualify: If you have a U.S. Social Security Number, make 3x your monthly base rent, and can pass a credit check, you may opt to Self-Qualify. All Self-Qualifying Applicants must provide proof of their income via 3 consecutive pay stubs and are required to pay a Security Deposit equal to 2 installments of the base rent.
- Guarantor Waiver Program (GWP): If you are a full-time student and do not have a qualifying guarantor, you may opt to use our GWP. You will need to send proof of Full-Time Enrollment and sign a Guarantor Waiver Program Addendum. GWP Applicants are required to pay an additional monthly fee and pay Security Deposit.
- International (I20): If you are an International Student who does not have a qualifying guarantor, you may apply with your I20. International applicants are required to pay a security deposit and send proof of their I20.
Note that all security deposits are refundable, pending your move-out inspection and any damages to your apartment.
While there is no set deadline, our availability and rates are first come-first served. The only way to secure a spot at Tradition on Rio is by completing the application and lease in full. We recommend signing as soon as possible and are happy to help guide you through this process and answer any questions you may have.
Located in the heart of West Campus, our apartments are only a short distance from the University of Texas at Austin campus, the UT West Campus bus stop, and local restaurants, shopping outlets, and entertainment venues.
During the application process, you’ll have the opportunity to list your preferred roommates. After approval, each person will need to register with RoomSync, our roommate matching platform. Once you’ve all “synced up” through the app, it will notify our office of your request to live together.
We lease individually, by the bed, so you can sign your individual housing contract and lock in your spot as soon as you’re ready, regardless of your roommates! We cannot, however, hold spots for preferred roommates or anyone since we lease first come-first serve. To ensure you and any friends can live together, we recommend signing at the same time if possible.
We offer fully virtual leasing for your convenience, so you are not required to come in person! To get started, you’ll first hit the “apply now” button on our website! From there, you’ll fill out all seven steps of your non-binding application, submit (and pay any fees if applicable), and once your lease is generated, you will initial and sign all the documents to officially secure your spot. Depending on your application type/how you’re qualifying, there may be additional steps required prior to screening and lease approval. Please contact our office with any questions to ensure your account gets screened and approved ASAP.
At Tradition on Rio, we are excited to offer the newest, most upgraded, and best possible experience to our residents in our brand-new community. For information on current Leasing Specials, please contact us.
