Individual leasing means peace of mind for you. Your financial responsibility is only for your student’s space, unlike many apartments or rental houses where a joint lease is signed. If a roommate transfers to another school or moves out of University Village for any reason, you do not have to worry about having to cover that portion of rent. This is just another reason why University Village is Florida Gulf Coast University’s best residential option for students!

Our maintenance staff will respond to your student’s maintenance issues quickly and professionally. University Village offers 24-hour emergency maintenance as well so that your student’s comfort is not affected.

University Village offers spacious floorplan options, so students can easily find one to suit their needs. We feature two-bedroom and four-bedroom apartments. Students each have their own bedroom and bathroom. Your monthly $50 residential services fee includes utilities (water, sewer and trash), electricity, premium cable, wired and Wi-Fi internet, furniture, access to University Village amenities and so much more!

If your student does not have a roommate in mind, we can find them one! Each roommate will fill out a Roommate Matching form so that we know their roommate and apartment preferences*. During the summer, we spend weeks reviewing these preferences and matching students up with the best person we can find!   *Apartment preferences do not guarantee a specific unit will be assigned.

Individual leasing means that each person is only responsible for his or her portion of the common areas and one bedroom. If your roommate ends up not coming back for the spring semester, you’re not responsible for that payment.

University Village’s lease makes life easy. Your rent includes utilities (water, sewer, trash pickup), electricity is covered up to a $25 green cap, premium cable, wireless internet, washer & dryer, access to all of University Village’s amenities and a wonderful staff that is there to help you anytime you need them.

Yes, we offer a roommate matching system. If you don’t have anyone in mind that you would like to live with, let us match you up with someone! There is a Roommate Matching Sheet that you will fill out to let us know more about what you’re seeking in a roommate and an apartment. Then, we spend weeks in the summer figuring out the best match for you based on that information.

You have three installment payment options to pay the entire amount due under the lease – one installment, two installments, or twelve installments. If you choose to pay a single installment for the entire amount, that single installment is due August 1. If you choose to pay in two semester installments, those installments are due August 1 and January 1. If you choose to pay in twelve installments, the first installment is due on August 1 and the remaining eleven installments are due on the 1st of the next eleven months. Please note that these are all installment payment options and not monthly rent.

• Pay with a personal check, money order, or cashier’s check.
• Pay with a credit card online through University Village’s Resident Portal. Service fee may apply.
• Have your financial institution automatically deduct rent from your bank account each month to send in payment.
• Pay with a check online using your resident portal free of charge!

Pets are not allowed at University Village.

University Village’s insurance will not cover your personal belongings. We suggest getting renter’s insurance for this reason. It is generally inexpensive and will cover your personal belongings if something were to happen.

University Village’s lease is binding and cannot be broken. If you cannot live at University Village after signing your lease, you will need to re-let or find a replacement for your space. Please call the leasing office for information on re-letting.

If you need maintenance, simply go to your resident portal on our website and fill out a maintenance request. You can also call or stop by the front desk. If it is an emergency, please notify the front office immediately.

Your mail will be delivered to your apartment’s mailbox located on University Village’s property. If you receive a package that doesn’t fit in the mailbox, you will receive instructions to pick it up from the on-site office. Other carriers may deliver to your apartment door.

Yes. The Residences at University Village policy is included here for family occupants with a child(ren) under the age of eighteen (18) who is domiciled with (i) at least one parent, legal guardian, or another person having legal custody of the child under the age of eighteen, or (ii) the designee of such parent or other person having such custody, with written permission of such parent or other person. For family households with children, all household members age eighteen (18) or older must: (A) complete an application, and (B) sign the lease as a Resident. For family households with children under the age of eighteen (18), at least two (2) people will be permitted to occupy a single bedroom. If a family household with children under the age of eighteen (18) requires additional occupancy per bedroom, additional occupants may be allowed on a case-by-case basis based on factors including, but not limited to, the size of the bedroom(s) and unit, age of the children, configuration of the unit, any physical limitations of the property, and local occupancy codes. If the child occupant reaches eighteen (18) years of age during the term of the lease, the lease will be allowed to complete its term, but renewal will only be offered in compliance with the occupancy policy as stated. Child occupants who are under twenty-four (24) months at the time the lease is signed will not be counted under the occupancy policy for purposes of maximum occupancy but will be counted for subsequent leases if they reach the age of twenty-four (24) months during the term of the lease. The Landlord has the right to lease any empty bedroom(s). Families should contact the office directly regarding the application for family households, as this process varies from individual leasing and the required forms are not all available electronically.
