Frequently Asked Questions
How close are you to campus?
What does it mean to have an individual lease?
Individual leasing means that each person is only responsible for their portion of the lease or bed space. If a roommate ends up transferring or leaving The Place at 117 for any reason, you’re not responsible for their payment.
What is included in the rent?
The rent includes: water, sewer, trash, cable, high-speed internet, access to all of The Place at 117's amenities, and a wonderful staff that is there to help anytime your student needs them. The only utility to be paid by the resident is electric usage, but we facilitate the billing process so your student can include it in the one monthly rent payment.
Do you have a roommate matching system?
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. Please note that these are all installment payment options and not monthly rent.
