Frequently Asked Questions

What does by-the-bed mean?

All leases are by-the-bed and per person, on an individual lease agreement. Studio or 1-bed spaces with double occupancy, plus larger floor plans with 2-bedrooms or more, will be shared apartments with multiple leaseholders.

How long does it take to get approved?

Most applications are approved within 24-48 hours.

What do you look for in applicants?

They rent to any applicant who meets their qualifying standards. All residents will undergo a background check and all guarantors will undergo a credit screening and must provide income verification.

What do you need from me to reserve a room/apartment?

In order to guarantee your bed space, they will need a signed lease agreement. Leases are generated once your application is complete, and your screening has been approved.

Do I need any special documents or paperwork to submit my application?

While completing your application you will have the ability to upload a copy of your identification. They will need this on file prior to your move-in, so you can save some time by uploading it at the time of application. They will also need proof of income from your guarantor when he/she completes their portion of the application.

Can I live with my friends?

Yes, as part of the online application you’ll have the ability to add future roommates to your application to create a roommate group. If your friends have already applied, there is also the option of listing their names on the application to ensure you are placed together in the same unit.

Do you provide a roommate matching service?

Yes, they provide a roommate matching service. Part of the application involves a roommate questionnaire where they ask about your academic focus, study habits, and social life. They use the answers from these questions to pare you with roommates in your selected floorplan and self-identified gender that they think will be a match.

How do you decide who I live with?

They use a roommate matching service in our property management software. Part of the application involves a roommate questionnaire where they ask about your academic focus, study habits, and social life. They use the answers from these questions to pair you with roommates in your selected floorplan and self-identified gender that they think will be a match.

What should I prepare for if one of my roommates is moving out?

If one of your roommates is moving out there is nothing that you’ll need to do because each resident is on his or her own individual lease agreement.

How are resident disputes handled?

When resident disputes do arise the onsite management team will host a roommate mitigation, meeting with all involved roommates individually and/or as a group to help resolve the matter and come to a mutually agreed upon solution. As needs arise, we do allow for resident transfers to a new unit.

Can I choose which room I live in within the residence?

They do not allow for selection of an individual bedroom within a unit. The individual lease agreement is for a specific floor plan and – depending on the floor plan – bedroom type, not for a specific unit or bedroom. They do take bedroom preferences into account when placing residents, but all future roommates must agree to the preference.

Can I change rooms if I am unhappy with my allocated roommate?

Yes, if roommate mitigation efforts have been unsuccessful, they do allow for residents to transfer to another unit. Transfer opportunities are dependent upon availability in same-gender units of the same floor plan.

What do I need to bring with me on arrival?

Your bedroom will come furnished with a mattress, bed frame, desk, chair, and – in most instances – a dresser or underbed storage option. All other needs, including bedding, toiletries, hangers, lamps, shower curtains, towels, etc. are to be provided by the resident.

Is there somewhere to park when I am unpacking?

Yes, parking is available for unpacking but locations vary by building. Please contact the onsite team and review your move-in directions for information on where to park when you arrive at the community and are ready to begin unpacking.

Will there be someone to collect my keys from?

Yes, reference the move-in direction for information on where to go and when to arrive in order to pick-up your keys on move-in day.

What kitchen appliances are included?

Kitchens come with a refrigerator, oven, stove, and microwave. All other kitchen counter-top appliances – such as a coffee maker – should be brought by the resident and/or your future roommates.

What furniture is included?

Furniture offerings vary by floor plan, as larger unit types, such as 4-bedroom units, have different future packages than smaller unit types, such as studios. Please contact the onsite team to confirm what future pieces come in your selected floor plan.

Can I personalize my room?

Yes, you can personalize your room. They just ask that you are conscious of not doing damage to the room beyond normal wear-and-tear. Damages such as holes larger than a quarter must be addressed prior to your move-out or you will be charged for the cost of repairing the damages.

Can I keep a refrigerator in my room?

Yes, residents are allowed to keep a mini refrigerator in their bedroom.

Are there laundry facilities?

Yes, if in-unit laundry is not available than the community will have a shared laundry room for residents to use.

Is there post service?

Yes, every unit will have a mailbox available for use by the US Postal Service. Please note that all residents in a unit will share the same mailbox. Residents will be provided a key to their mailbox at move-in and must return it at the time of move-out.

Do I have Wi-Fi?

Yes, Wi-Fi is offered in all common areas and in residential units. You’ll be provided with information on accessing the Wi-Fi at the time of your move-in. They encourage residents who require significant data usage, such as online gaming, to use an ethernet that plugs into the wall for the best possible internet connection.

Is a TV provided?

TV offerings vary by community and/or floor plan. Please confirm with the onsite team if your selected floor plan comes with a TV in the living room.

Who is responsible for cleaning my room?

Residents are responsible for cleaning their own bedrooms and shared living rooms. The community does not offer a cleaning service. Units are inspected one per quarter to ensure the unit is being kept in livable condition and that any damages caused by the residents don’t lead to unsanitary living conditions.

Who is responsible for cleaning the communal areas?

Roommates are responsible for keeping the common areas of their unit cleaned, as this is a shared space among all of the residents.

Can we have a party?

Gatherings are allowed in the units but all residents must abide by the property rules outlined in the lease agreement. Reference the lease agreement for information on apartment and community guidelines, including the outlined quiet hours.

Can I park on site?

Yes, resident parking is available onsite but requires a property sticker to ensure your car is allowed in resident parking areas. Contact the onsite management team for parking costs, vehicle registration information, and to receive your sticker.

How do I report maintenance?

If you have a maintenance need in your unit, they ask that you submit it as a work order via the Resident Portal app. This allows our team to track maintenance requests and communicate updates to you on the status of the repair and/or replacement as needed, depending on the nature of your work order. Most work orders are completed within 24 hours.

What happens once I have reported maintenance?

After reporting a maintenance need a member of our maintenance team will review the ticket and reach out if entry confirmation is needed. While submitting the ticket, residents have the option of allowing entry to their unit/bedroom for the work order to be completed or request that entry be confirmed prior to the work order being addressed. Most work orders can be completed in a single visit but sometimes a part order is required.

How do I report a maintenance issue after hours?

After-hours maintenance requests can also be submitted via the Resident Portal app. In the event of an emergency work order, such as flooding, please call the property phone number and our after-hours call service will contact the on-call maintenance team member. For life-threatening emergencies, such as a fire, residents should also contact 9-1-1.

Who can I speak to if I have a personal problem?

Our onsite management team is available to speak with residents regarding problem with their roommates, financial hardships that are impacting their ability to make installment payments, or other in-unit or community concerns.

Are pets allowed?

Pets are allowed at most communities, but policies do vary and a one-time pet fee plus a recurring monthly pet rent is likely required. Please contact the onsite management team for pet limitations and requirements.

Do I need renter’s insurance?

Yes, all residents are required to carry liability insurance per the terms of the lease agreement. B.HOM offers a low-cost liability insurance program that meets the requirements of your lease agreement and can be billed monthly along with your monthly rental installments

Do I have privacy in the apartment?

Yes, residents have sole access to their bed space within the apartment. The living room and kitchen are considered common areas shared by all residents, but most bedrooms are single occupancy for added privacy. Bathroom offerings vary by floor plan.

Who do I contact in the case of an emergency?

After-hours maintenance requests can also be submitted via the Resident Portal app. In the event of an emergency work order, such as flooding, please call the property phone number and our after-hours call service will contact the on-call maintenance team member. For life-threatening emergencies, such as a fire, residents should also contact 9-1-1.

Can I move out before my lease ends?

Yes, residents can move out before the lease end date but are still responsible for all monthly installment payments through the end of the lease term. Moving out does not absolve you of your payment requirements. Residents do have the option of reletting their bed space to another resident to take over the monthly installment payments through the end of the lease term. Contact the onsite management team for information on reletting your bed space.

What do I need to do before I move out?

Contact the onsite management team before moving out. They will provide information about what steps you need to complete, including how to return your keys.

How do I return my keys?

Contact the onsite management team for information on when and how to return your keys. If you are moving out at the end of your lease term information will be provided to all residents in advance of the main move out dates.

How soon will I receive my security deposit after move-out date?

Return timing for security deposits vary by the financial services provider holding the security deposit. Please contact the onsite management team for reference on your specific deposit and historical timing of these returns, along with requirements outlined in your lease agreement.

Can I store my stuff and collect it later?

They do not offer storage spaces for resident belongings in-between move-in dates or after your move-out date. The university off-campus life department may offer contacts for local storage and moving companies that offer this service.
