Q & A

Got questions? Hopefully this will help, but if there’s anything else you want to ask us about, call us at 270.767.1818.

Can I lease online?

Yes. Leasing online is easy. Simply complete the online application, or contact us to request a paper copy. Everything is on a first-come-first-served basis and our rooms lease up quickly. It is important for you to provide us payment of the application fees along with your application. The application fee is $35, and can be paid over the phone with a credit card. We cannot process your application or reserve your room until we receive this fee.

How do I pay the rent?

Rent is due on the 1st and is late after the 5th. For your convenience you can pay online, bring your payment by the office during normal office hours or use the secure 24-hour drop slot. For your safety, we do not accept cash. Please arrange to make payments by personal check, money order or bank cashier's check. A convenience fee will be applied to all online credit card rent payments. There’s a $25 late charge on the 6th and a $5 per day charge until the rent is paid in full. Rent paid after the 5th must be paid in certified funds.

Do you accept partial payments?

Unfortunately, we do not accept partial payments. If we do not receive your full rent payment as outlined in your lease, a late charge will be automatically assessed.

What does rent include?

Rent includes furniture, water and sewer, trash, cable and internet. Electric is also included, with a monthly allowance of $75 per 3 bedroom, and $100 per 4 bedroom apartment. You are responsible for any overage. There is a service fee of $45 for Conservice Utility Management per resident payable annually which covers the cost of service for billing roommates for any utility charges, making it easier for everyone.

How long is the lease agreement?

The leases are just under a year. Rent can be paid in 12 equal installments or by semester.

Is there a deposit and application fee?

There is no deposit required for applicants with guarantors. Without a guarantor, the deposit is 2 month’s rent and a $50 application fee.

What do I pay before moving in?

Typically, residents pay all application fees, deposits and the first rent installment before move-in day, in the form of a cashier’s check or money order.

What is an individual lease?

Campus Evolution Villages makes life easy for you by leasing by the bedroom. Each bedroom suite in an apartment has a separate lease agreement. You are only responsible for the rent for your bedroom. All roommates are equally responsible for damages or missing furnishings in common areas. It is reassuring to know if a roommate does move out before their lease ends, you are not responsible for his or her rent.

What if I need to break my lease?

Campus Evolution Villages does not offer a lease buy-out option, but we are sensitive to the special needs of our residents. At the manager's discretion, residents may assign their lease to a new resident. You are responsible for finding your own replacement. Any replacement must meet Campus Evolution Villages’ approval standards. Certain rules and fees may also apply.

Do I need insurance?

Personal loss and damages are not covered under apartment lease agreements. We require you to purchase renter's insurance, which is typically inexpensive. Campus Evolution Villages is working with a third-party insurance provider, Worth Ave. Group and NSSI to offer comprehensive renters insurance directly through Worth Ave. Group. Designed specifically for college students, the policy costs less than a homeowner’s deductible and offers better coverage for only $12.50 per month.
Visit Worth Ave Group for more info.

How does free roommate matching work?

Finding roommates is easy! Just complete the roommate matching form. Be sure to identify any friends you would like to room with and whether or not they are currently leasing from Campus Evolution Villages. The form includes information about your preferences in roommate; TV watching, noise level, study habits, music etc. If you do not wish to select your own roommates, we will place you in an apartment according to your choice of apartment size and your gender. When there is a vacant bedroom in an apartment, that room can be leased at any time at the discretion of Campus Evolution Villages. However, roommates placed by our management team will always meet the gender requirements of the current residents sharing that specific unit.

What happens if after I move in I don't like my roommate?

Should there be differences that simply cannot be worked out, residents are able to transfer, dependent on availability (a transfer fee may apply and the transferee will be required to pay the rental rate for the new bedroom).

Can students of the opposite gender be roommates?

Yes, if all roommates know each other prior to move-in and give approval. Campus Evolution Villages will not use roommate matching to match members of the opposite gender.

Does Campus Evolution Villages have Internet?

Absolutely, and it's fast and free. Every bedroom is directly linked to the internet with wired and wireless access.

Are pets allowed?

No, we’re sorry but pets are not allowed.

Can I paint my apartment?

It’s fine to express yourself via custom paint colors, though you need to have the color approved by management and a fee will be charged at move-out to return your walls to their original color.

Where are my guests allowed to park?

We offer designated parking spaces in the back of the lot for all Campus Evolution Villages’ guests. They are marked with visitor parking signs. It’s the resident’s responsibility to notify guests of where to park.

What are electronic entry locks?

We provide you with state-of-the-art, electronic entry locks. These uniquely programmed locks offer added security and tracking benefits that old-fashioned mechanical locks do not. This entry system prevents duplication, provides a record log of users for security and allows residents access to the clubhouse.

What size are the beds?

They are Full Extra Large, which means the width of a full and length of a Queen. Queen-size sheets fit best.

How will I receive my mail?

Mail is delivered by the US Postal Service to your mailbox. Additionally, packages can be picked up in the clubhouse office during normal office and extended resident services hours.

Do I need to bring my own furniture?

We provide quality furnishings throughout each apartment and in your private bedroom. You also get full sized appliances including: refrigerator/freezer with ice-maker, oven/stove with spacious overhead microwave, dishwasher, disposal, washer and dryer. You will need to provide your own chair for the built-in desk provided in each bedroom. We recommend that you contact your roommates prior to moving-in to coordinate common area furnishings/luxuries, such as; televisions, stereos, shower curtain hooks & shower curtains, bath mats, trash cans, plates, silverware, cups, pots & pans, etc. For your own personal space, you will need to bring your bath and grooming products as well as towels, linens, pillows, and whatever else makes you feel at home. Our Community Ambassadors are a great resource for planning your move – don't hesitate to call them with questions or simply to feel reassured about what you've already prepared.
