What are the total costs?

Is it required to have renter insurance or liability insurance?
Yes, insurance is required. We offer it for $13.95/month and can be added to your lease!

What are the lease terms, and are there any penalties for early termination?
The lease starts on August 19th 2026 and ends July 25th 2027. If you need to terminate early, you must relet your space by finding someone to take over your lease and pay a $500 relet fee. If you cannot find a replacement, you’ll remain responsible for the lease.

What documents are required to sign a lease?
You’ll need to provide a form of ID, such as a social security number, passport number, VISA number, or driver’s license number. If you have a guarantor, they’ll need to provide the same information. For assistance, feel free to contact our front office by email or phone, or visit us in the lobby during office hours!

Do I need a guarantor or co-signer to qualify?
A guarantor or co-signer is not mandatory. If you don’t have one, you can enroll in the LEAP program, which helps students without access to a guarantor or security deposit. For just $43 per month, LEAP secures your space at Hub Madison Bassett without the need for an income/credit check and allows you to add a guarantor later if needed.

Each unit features an electronic lock that can be accessed via passcode or app, and we offer an on-call service for emergencies when 911 may not be necessary.

Is there internet access / utilities included?
Yes, all residents have access to Wi-Fi, and every unit includes an ethernet port in each bedroom. The average Wi-Fi speed is approximately 200 Mbps for both downloads and uploads.

Are utilities (water, electricity, gas, internet, etc.) included in rent or billed separately?
The only utility that is included in your rent is gas. Electricity, water, trash, and package system fees will be billed to your resident portal each month.
