What Is an Individual Lease?
Hub Madison Bassett offers leases by the bed, not by the full apartment. That means each resident signs for their own bedroom space and monthly installment rather than taking responsibility for the entire unit.
Learn MoreHow This Works In Your Favor
- Your student is responsible for their own lease, not their roommate’s portion.
- Monthly installments are easier to plan around.
- Students live with friends or use roommate matching.
- Lease responsibilities are clear from the start.
- A guarantor or co-signer may be part of the leasing process.
This structure is helpful for families because it separates each resident’s financial responsibility while giving students a clearer role in managing payments, communication, and general apartment care.

Before Move-In
Because Hub Madison Bassett apartments come fully furnished, students focus on personal essentials and decorations rather than purchasing and transporting large furniture.
Families should plan to bring:
- Bedding, pillows, and towels
- Toiletries and personal care items
- Cookware, dishes, and utensils
- Cleaning supplies and laundry items
- School supplies and desk items
- Personal décor and familiar items from home
Roommates should coordinate shared household items before move-in so the apartment does not end up with duplicates.
On Move-In Day
Once students arrive, they should walk through their apartment and confirm that the main items are in place, including furniture, appliances, keys, and access items. If anything is missing, damaged, or not working as expected, they should report it to the on-site leasing staff as soon as possible.
From there, it usually helps to unpack the essentials first, such as bedding, toiletries, chargers, school supplies, and a few basic kitchen items. Students do not need to organize the entire apartment immediately, but unpacking the first-night items can help the space feel familiar sooner.
Settling In
A few personal touches make a furnished apartment feel more familiar. Photos, decorations, favorite blankets, desk items, and small reminders of home help your student settle into their new off-campus apartment in Madison, WI.
Another helpful step is for students to tour the building early. Learning where to find study spaces, fitness areas, package areas, parking, common spaces, bike storage, and the leasing office can make the first few days feel more manageable.

Getting Around Town

Whether your student prefers to walk, bike, bus, or drive around town, our community will set them up for success.
More On Our CultureWalking to Campus
Hub Madison Bassett is a 5-minute walk from the University of Wisconsin-Madison campus. Students also reach State Street in 5 minutes walking, Memorial Library in 10 minutes walking, and Memorial Union in 12 minutes on foot.
That proximity is helpful for students who want to head to class, study on campus, meet friends, attend student events, or return to their apartment between commitments without depending on a car.
Parking
Reserved parking is available in the multi-level parking garage for an additional monthly fee. Availability, pricing, and eligibility should be confirmed before signing.
Biking and Scooters
Hub Madison Bassett offers bike storage for students who prefer biking or using scooters. This is helpful for students who want another way to get to class, State Street, campus resources, or nearby errands without relying on a car for every trip.
Buses and Local Mobility
The nearest bus stop is a 1-minute walk from the community. For trips beyond walking distance, students use buses, rideshare, personal vehicles, bikes, or scooters depending on their schedule and destination.
Off-campus living is a chance for students to take more ownership of day-to-day responsibilities while still having their parents and guardians available for guidance. At Hub Madison Bassett, students should generally be the primary point of contact for routine housing matters, including payments, maintenance requests, lease questions, roommate communication, and community updates.
Privacy and Account-Specific Questions
For privacy reasons, the Hub Madison Bassett team may not be able to share certain account, lease, payment, or resident details with a parent or guardian unless the student has given the office direct permission to do so. This is common in student housing and helps keep communication centered on the resident.
Parents still ask general questions about the community, leasing process, amenities, parking, move-in preparation, or available floor plans. For details tied to a specific resident account, your student may need to be part of the conversation or provide consent first.
What Students Should Handle Directly
Students are expected to manage the everyday details that come with apartment living. This helps them build confidence, learn how to communicate clearly, and stay on top of responsibilities throughout the lease term.
Common student responsibilities include:
- Submitting maintenance requests through the resident portal
- Reading emails, portal messages, and community notices
- Understanding payment dates and account reminders
- Communicating with roommates about shared apartment expectations
- Asking lease-related questions before deadlines pass
How Parents Can Stay Involved
Parents and guardians still play an important role without taking over every detail. The most helpful approach is often to talk through expectations early, then encourage students to communicate directly when they need help.
Parents can stay involved by:
- Reviewing the lease together before signing
- Creating a shared budget plan
- Tracking move-in, renewal, payment, and move-out dates
- Talking through cleaning, laundry, groceries, and roommate expectations
- Encouraging students to ask questions early
A Helpful Family Communication Plan
Before move-in, families may want to discuss:
- Who will make the monthly payments
- When parents should be contacted about apartment concerns
- How students will share lease updates or renewal information
- What to do if maintenance is needed
- How roommate concerns should be handled
- How often will students and parents check in during the first few weeks
With a little planning, students take the lead on their housing experience while parents remain informed and ready to help them think through decisions when needed.
