Parties
Identify owner, manager, primary occupant, and any guarantors; specify legal entity names to avoid ambiguity and ensure enforceability.

The Student Strata Template is used by property managers, university housing administrators, landlords, and legal advisors who manage groups of student occupants.
Signers often include the property manager, the designated occupant for each unit, and a witness or notary where state rules or institutional policy require formal acknowledgement.
