Frequently Asked Questions

What does it mean to have an individual lease?

Individual leasing means that each person is only responsible for their portion of the common areas and their bedroom. If your roommate ends up not coming back for the spring semester, you’re not responsible for their payment.

What is included in the rent?

PMG rent includes: Internet, cable with HBO, water, sewer, trash & recycling, washer & dryer, and access to all of PMG amenities, and a wonderful staff that is there to help you anytime you need them.

Do you have a roommate matching system?

Yes, they offer a roommate matching system. If you don’t have anyone in mind that you would like to live with, let them match you up with someone! There is a Roommate Matching Sheet that you will fill out to let us know more about what you’re looking for in a roommate. Then, they spend weeks in the summer figuring out the best match for you based on that information

When is my rent due?

You have three installment payment options to pay the entire amount due under the lease – one installment, two installments, or twelve installments. If you choose to pay a single installment for the entire amount, that single installment is due August 1. If you choose to pay in two semester installments, those installments are due August 1 and January 1. If you choose to pay in twelve installments, the first installment is due on August 1 and the remaining eleven installments are due on the 1st of the next eleven months. 

What furniture is provided?

PMG comes fully equipped with energy efficient appliances, a refrigerator, microwave, dishwasher, and washer & dryer. Each common area will have a couch with usb ports, coffee table, end table, tv stand, and 50” television. Bedrooms will have a bed with frame, dresser, desk, and chair.

How do I pay my rent?

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

Do you allow pets?

PMG is pet friendly! 

Is there insurance coverage in the event of a fire, theft or natural causes? Does my lease provide coverage for my belongings?

PMG’s insurance will not cover your personal belongings. They suggest getting renter’s insurance for this reason. It is generally inexpensive and will cover your personal belongings if something were to happen.

What if I need to break my lease or don't return for the spring semester?

PMG’s lease is binding and cannot be broken. If you cannot live at Octave after signing your lease, you will need to re-let. 

What if I need maintenance in my bedroom or apartment?

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

How do I receive mail and packages?

Your mail will be delivered to your apartment’s mailbox located on Octave’s property in building one. Packages will be delivered to their state of the art package system, Parcel Pending. You will need to sign up for the system to receive package notifications.

What do I need to bring to my new apartment?

They suggest that you bring:

· Bedding for a Full-Size bed

· Toiletries

· Dishes/Cookware

· Decorations to make your new room feel like home

What kinds of events do you have at Octave?

PMG has resident events that range from pizza parties to Taco Tuesdays. Not only is there free food at events, but it’s also a great way to meet people! Events will be held both on property and virtually so you can participate from anywhere!

Are leases for families with children available?

Yes. The property’s policy is included here for family occupants with a child(ren) under the age of eighteen (18) who is domiciled with 

(i) at least one parent, legal guardian, or another person having legal custody of the child under the age of eighteen, or 

(ii) the designee of such parent or other person having such custody, with written permission of such parent or other person. 


For family households with children, all household members age eighteen (18) or older must: 

(A) complete an application, and 

(B) sign the lease as a Resident. 


For family households with children under the age of eighteen (18), at least two (2) people will be permitted to occupy a single bedroom. 

If a family household with children under the age of eighteen (18) requires additional occupancy per bedroom, additional occupants may be allowed on a case-by-case basis based on factors including, but not limited to, the size of the bedroom(s) and unit, age of the children, configuration of the unit, any physical limitations of the property, and local occupancy codes. If the child occupant reaches eighteen (18) years of age during the term of the lease, the lease will be allowed to complete its term, but renewal will only be offered in compliance with the occupancy policy as stated. 

Child occupants who are under twenty-four (24) months at the time the lease is signed will not be counted under the occupancy policy for purposes of maximum occupancy but will be counted for subsequent leases if they reach the age of twenty-four (24) months during the term of the lease. 

The Landlord has the right to lease any empty bedroom(s). Families should contact the office directly regarding the application for family households, as this process varies from individual leasing and the required forms are not all available electronically.
