We have you sign a contingency because we allow our residents to renew up until a certain date. We ask all new residents to sign a contingency lease that would allow us to move you to your second choice apartment, if the current residents of your first choice apartment renews. This ensures all new residents that they will have an apartment for the upcoming year.
