Will you send me a bill each month for rent?
We do not send out a monthly rent statement. Rent is due on the first day of the month. There is no late charge on the second of the month as it is a grace period. On the third, rent is late and there is a $40 late fee with a $5 additional fee each day thereafter.

What utilities are included in my rent?
Almost everything! Campus Lodge includes electricity (allotment), water, sewer, pest control & daily trash removal from building ground floor collection points. We also offer high-speed internet and cable with HBO.

When do I put down a deposit?
We do not charge security deposits. You will need to pay a non-refundable service fee in order to reserve your suite. This is due at the time of signing the paperwork and accompanying lease.

Of course! Residents will receive parking decals for their vehicles when they move in. There are spaces around every building to park. If you have friends that would like to visit, we offer guest parking.

When is my first payment due?
Your first payment is due before you can move in, and then rent will be due the first day of every month following your move in day.
If you move in August 23, 2008 then your first payment will be due August 1, 2008.

If I am over 21, do I need to have a guarantor?
All of our residents are required to have a guarantor, regardless of age.
To qualify without a guarantor, you may pay your lease in full prior to move-in or make at least three times the amount of rent each month.

Can I request an apartment or roommates?

Don't have roommates? No problem! We perform roommate matching as a courtesy, and match you based on your preferences as indicated on your application.

What if I need to cancel my lease?
Because Campus Lodge understands that unforeseen events may happen, we do offer reletting. You would need to find someone to take over your lease (as a re-let). You may pick up a copy of our re-let procedures in the front office.

Can I use my financial aid?
Unfortunately, since we are not directly associated with the University of Florida or Santa Fe Community College, we do not directly accept financial aid. However, you may use your financial aid to pay your rent as long as it is in the form of our acceptable payment methods.

How do I get to Campus by bus?
Four busses pick up at Campus Lodge. The number 35 picks up at the front of the complex at our bus stop on Williston Road. The numbers 9, 36, and 34 pick up at the bus stop at the back of the complex, past building 12. The busses drop you off in the center campus. Make sure you have your Gator 1 card to show the driver when you get on the bus. There is no cost for the RTS bus service taking you to campus as long as you have your Gator 1 card.

Can we decorate our apartment?
We encourage residents to personalize and decorate their suites. You are allowed to hang pictures on the walls, re-arrange furniture, hang window treatments, and anything else you can think of. However, you can not move the furniture Campus Lodge provides out of the apartment (this includes onto the patio).
Back Up Top
What do I need to bring with me when I move in?
Apartments come fully furnished, so you will only need to bring your personal items. We recommend that residents speak with their roommates prior to moving in to discuss what items everyone is bringing (e.g., you do not want to have four toasters in the kitchen). For the kitchen, you will need to bring dishes, silverware, pots and pans, and cleaning supplies. For your bedroom, you will need to bring linens, towels, electronics, and personal items. Each bedroom has its own high-speed internet port, so you will need to bring an Ethernet cord for your computer.

What is roommate matching?
All residents are asked to fill out a roommate matching form when they apply for residency. Some of the categories by which we match people include year in school, smoking vs. non-smoking, housekeeping habits, study habits and interests. We ask all residents to fill out this form as honestly as possible so that we can match you to the best of our abilities.
Back Up Top
What exactly does my rent include?
Your monthly rent includes just about everything you could want or need. Apartments come fully furnished with all hardwood furniture, all major appliances, and all utilities except for local phone service. On-site, residents have access to our Huge Resort-Style Pool, 24-hour Cardio and Weight Rooms, Basketball Courts, BBQ Picnic Area and 2 New South Beach Tanning Domes, just to mention a few. There is a monthly utility allotment of $40 per person.
