FAQ
What should I know before my
son/daughter chooses a new apartment home?
A lease is a basic agreement between your child and the owner of
the community. The lease is legally binding and enforceable through
the legal system. If they choose to move out before the end of the
lease terms, the resident could still be responsible to pay the
remainder of the lease agreement or agreed upon amount.
What deposits are required?
The deposits are either a full month’s rent or if self-qualified we
reduce the deposit to $250(Tranquility/Serenity) or $350(Harmony).
Note: If resident fails to make payments on the apartment, the
guarantor will be responsible to provide those payments. Deposits
will be refunded after final inspections are completed with no
damages to apartment or furnishings.
Is renters insurance required?
No, however it is encouraged. Renters insurance is a policy you can
purchase to protect your personal property as the
management/landlords is not responsible for replacement to tenants.
Replacement of your belongings if they are damaged, lost, or stolen
could be covered. TCC does not promote any specific insurance
coverage company to use.
What type of apartments are
available?
Hidden Village offers 1 and 2 bedroom floor plans. With three
different options to choose from, ask your leasing specialist which
floor plan may work best for you based on what you are looking for
in your new apartment home.
How close is the community the UF
campus?
We are about 1.5 miles from the campus, Shands Hospital and the VA
Hospital.
When is rent due?
Rent is due on the 1st of each month; however, a grace period will
be allowed until 11:59 pm of the 3rd of the month. Online rental
payments through our Resident Portal can be automatically set up
once the resident has moved in and the set up codes have been
supplied to the resident from the office staff.
How long is the lease agreement?
Lease agreements typically last 12 months, available with
year-round move ins.
Do you allow short-term leases?
Currently, the shortest term leases we offer are 7 months. However
there will be a $50 premium charged per month on top of base rent.
What is your pet policy?
We are pet friendly with no breed restrictions up to 80 lbs. The
pet fee will range from $250-$350, and pet rent will range from
$25-45. Both pet fee and pet rent are dependent upon the age and
weight of your pet.
Do you allowing subletting?
Subletting is allowed. The resident will be responsible for finding
his/her own assignee. Once someone has agreed to take over the
lease, both parties will work with the leasing team to complete any
necessary paperwork.
Can my child pick their roommate?
Our leases pertain to the entire apartment and not per bedroom.
Therefore, residents pick their roommates, although a roommate is
not necessary. Keep in mind that all persons on the lease are
individually and jointly responsible for any damages to the
apartment and the charges that may result thereafter.
Do you allow co-ed apartments?
Yes, co-ed apartments are allowed.
Do you allow non-students?
Yes, if a new resident does not attend school and meets all our
approval criteria, he/she can also live at Hidden Village.
What if my child doesn’t get along
with his/her new roommates?
We suggest that the roommates have a discussion of boundaries
immediately after moving in, even if they have known them for a
long time. This will help with establishing guidelines for living
together. We ask that roommates attempt to talk about any issues
within the household prior to contacting the leasing office. If
they are unable to resolve, the leasing team may be able to assist
with the outcome on a case-by-case basis.
Do I have to pay for parking?
No. Hidden Village offers open parking. Residents and their guests
are allowed to park in any of the spots on property.
When is move-in day?
Please call our office for move in and move out dates.
