International & Transfer Student Apartments Near UTK
Yes! Each of our UTK student apartments comes fully furnished with designer furniture and stainless steel appliances.
At Tradition Knoxville, we lease on a first-come, first-served basis, and availability is often limited. However, if you’re still waiting on acceptance, we can offer a Non-Enrollment Addendum. This allows students to sign their lease now and secure a spot at our current rates. Then, if they aren’t accepted to UTK, all they have to do is send us proof of non-acceptance, and they’ll be released from the lease. For more information, contact our leasing office!
We offer several options to apply and sign up to live at Tradition Knoxville! 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 $100 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 three 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 of $118 and pay a $100 Security Deposit.
- International (I-20): If you are an International Student who does not have a qualifying guarantor, you may apply with your I-20. International Applicants are required to pay a Security Deposit equal to 2 installments of base rent and send proof of their I-20.
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 on a first-come, first-served basis. The only way to secure a spot at Tradition Knoxville is by completing the application and lease in full. For this reason, we recommend signing as soon as possible. Our team is always happy to help guide you through the application process or answer any questions you may have!
During the application process, you’ll have the opportunity to list your preferred roommates. Once approved, you and your roommate will register for RoomSync, our roommate matching program. From there, you can “sync up” on the app, which is what notifies our office that you want to live together!
Yes, we are! Our community boasts a premier location in the heart of Knoxville, right next to the UTK campus. From here, residents can easily access class and university resources, whether they walk, bike, or drive.
Our community offers individual, by-the-bed leasing, allowing you to secure your spot independently of your roommates. However, as we operate on a first-come, first-served basis, we cannot hold spots for preferred roommates forever. To increase your chances of living together, we recommend that roommates sign their leases around the same time.
