As per Urban REI's policies, any non-compliance with rental agreement terms, unpaid rent, or any other outstanding debts may be reported to credit bureaus, as permitted by applicable laws.

This includes private living spaces, common areas, and a 15-foot radius outside the building including all entrances, balconies, and patios.

All residents, guests, and service personnel must adhere to this rule.

It's up to the residents to ensure their household members, roommates, and guests comply.
