Yes! We know many students rely on financial aid, and we’re happy to work with your disbursement schedule. Through our Financial Aid Payment Deferment Program, you can defer your installment payments until your financial aid is released.
To enroll, you’ll need to provide proof of your student status and complete a Financial Aid Payment Deferment Agreement and provide documentation showing you’re enrolled in a financial aid program at a university with an expected refund sufficient to cover your lease costs. There is a program fee as well. Contact us for more information, or to be sent your agreement today.

If your student doesn’t have a roommate, we can find them one! Each roommate will fill out a Roommate Matching form, so we know what they’re looking for. During the summer, we spend weeks looking at these preferences and matching them up with the best person available.

We do not allow pets. Add your service animal to your application and register it at CadenceAtSouthern.petscreening.com

Visit the office at 7801 Scenic Hwy., Baton Rouge, LA 70807 or call (225) 694-1028.

We accept payment via check, money order, or through the online system.

We’re committed to making the leasing process as smooth as possible for our international residents. Our new International Student Visa Addendum is designed to provide peace of mind for students leasing with a visa, helping simplify the experience and remove unnecessary stress. Ask our team how this addendum can support your leasing process today!

Cadence is designed and marketed exclusively to students attending Southern University and A&M College and other local colleges. The per-person resident contracts are designed with students and their families in mind. Cadence is an Equal Opportunity housing provider and welcomes, among other residents, students with spouses, partners and/or children at no extra cost other than regular charges for each bedroom space occupied in a unit. In order to appropriately match roommates in shared units with other college students, roommate consent is required for any non- student resident.

Cadence requires tenant liability for every resident. All residents will be automatically enrolled in a policy from a third-party tenant liability coverage for a small fee. If you would prefer to provide your own policy, you can do so. The third-party policy does not cover personal items, however if you choose to get your own policy, you can ensure that your items will be protected. Please reach out to the office for the requirements of your policy if you are interested in providing your own.

Your installment includes internet, water, sewage, and an electricity cap. It also includes all amenities.

All bedrooms are furnished with a full XL bed and frame, a stackable dresser, a desk, and chair. All floorplans also include a furnished common area with a sofa, sofa chair, coffee table, and bar stools.

If you need maintenance, simply go to the resident portal on our website and fill out a maintenance request. You can also call or stop by the front desk. If it’s an emergency, please notify the front office immediately.

If you do not have that addendum and you cannot live at Cadence after signing your lease and/or moving in, you will need to re-let. Please call the leasing office for information on re-letting.

Individual leasing means peace of mind for you. Your financial responsibility is your student’s space only—unlike many apartments or rental houses with joint leases. That means if a roommate transfers or moves out for any reason, you don’t have to worry about covering their portion.

You have three installment payment options to pay the entire amount due under the lease: one installment, two installments, or 12 installments.

Cadence is located at 7801 Scenic Hwy., Baton Rouge, LA 70807, near Southern University.
