Q & A

Got questions? Hopefully this will help, but if there’s anything else you want to ask us about, give us a call at 318.254.1010.

How do I pay the rent?

Rent is due on the 1st and is late after the 5th . You can pay online, or bring your payment by the office during normal office hours. 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 do I pay before moving in?

Typically, residents pay all fees, deposits and the first rent installment before move-in day.

Is there a security deposit or application fee?

There may or may not be a security deposit depending on your Credit Score and guarantor rating. There is a $50 application fee.

What is an individual lease?

Campus Evolution Villages makes life easy for you by leasing by the bedroom. 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.

What if I need to break my lease?

We don’t offer a lease buy-out option, but we are sensitive to special needs. 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’ usual approval standards. Certain rules and fees may also apply.

What utilities are included in my rent?

Water, sewer, cable TV, internet and garbage are all included in your rent. Electric usage will be billed separately. There is an annual service fee of $45 for Conservice Utility Management which covers the cost of service for billing roommates for their portion of 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.

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 applicable 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.

How does free roommate matching work?

We make finding roommates easy. Just download and complete the roommate matching form. You can identify any friends you would like to room with, or tell us your preferences in roommate; TV watching, noise level, study habits, music etc. and we’ll find you your next best friends. Alternately, if you do not wish to select your own roommates, we can 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 apartment.

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.

Does Campus Evolution Villages have Internet?

Absolutely, it’s fast and it's free. Every bedroom has high-speed broadband – both wired and wireless.

Are pets allowed?

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

Is there assigned parking?

No, it is available to everyone on a first come, first serve basis. Parking is free, and there’s plenty of space onsite.

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.

What size are the beds?

They are Full Standard size.

How will I receive my mail?

Mail is delivered by the US Postal Service to your mailbox. We do accept resident deliveries but do not sign for mail requiring it. 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?

Campus Evolution Villages provides top quality furnishings throughout each suite and in your private bedroom. Each apartment is furnished with a refrigerator, stove with overhead microwave, dishwasher, disposal and washer and dryer. 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 packed.
