International & Transfer Student Apartments Near UCLA
Our apartments come fully furnished, including private bedrooms, bathroom options, and stainless steel appliances.
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 at move-in to make it super simple! Also, bring a form of Photo ID (License, Passport, etc.) 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 is extremely limited, we can offer a Non-Enrollment Addendum. This means that you can sign your lease NOW and secure your spot at our current rates, and if you don’t get into UCLA, all you need to do is send us proof that you weren’t accepted, and you can get out of your lease!
We offer several options to apply and sign up to live at The Mark Los Angeles! 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 3 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 of $118 and pay a $100 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 equal to 2 installments of base rent 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 The Standard is by completing the Application & Lease in full. We recommend signing as soon as possible and are happy to help guide you through this process & answer any questions you may have.
The Mark Los Angeles is the perfect place for students and young professionals to call home while chasing their goals. Thanks to our prime location, getting to class or work on time is never a hassle!
We’re conveniently close to medical centers, business hubs, UCLA, and all your favorite local hotspots—making everyday life simpler and more enjoyable.
When you apply, there is an option to list your preferred roommates. Once getting approved, to confirm you will be living with your preferred roommates, each individual resident will register for Room Sync, 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!
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 7 steps of your non-binding application, submit (and pay any fees if applicable), and once your lease is generated, to officially secure your spot, you will initial and sign all documents. Depending on how 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 The Mark Los Angeles, we are excited to offer the newest, most upgraded, and best possible experience to our residents in our brand-new community.
