No. The “near-colleges” part is about location. You can still apply as any renter, but ask the building whether they have any preferences or process differences for co-signers, guarantors, or student circumstances.

Ask about availability and move-in dates, the exact deposit/fee schedule, which utilities are included, and whether there are any building rules that affect your plans (access, packages, or common-area policies).

No. The filter flags a tenant-protection category, but it does not replace a landlord’s lease terms or any case-by-case rules. Request the renewal policy in writing and ask how changes are handled.
