Frequently Asked Questions

Individual leasing means peace of mind for you. Your financial responsibility is only for your space unlike many apartments or rental houses where a joint lease is signed. If a roommate transfers to another school or moves out of The Summit for any reason, you do not have to worry about having to cover their portion of rent. This is just another reason why The Summit is your best housing option!

The rent and community fee covers all utilities cost and access to all the amenities. Utilities covered by The Summit includes: internet, electricity, gas, water, sewer, trash and recycling. In addition, your apartment comes fully furnished and ready for move-in with in unit washer and dryer, a refrigerator, microwave, dishwasher, and electric stove. In your living room you'll find a sofa, accent chair, coffee table, dining room table and chairs, entertainment stand, and a Smart TV. Lastly, in your bedroom you'll receive a bed, night stand, desk with desk chair, closet, and drawers.

All installment payments are due on the 1st of the month. Your first installment payment is due on the 1st day of your lease start month and the remaining installments are due on the 1st of the months that follow. Please note that these are installment payments and not monthly rent. Your total contract amount is broken up into equal installment payments to pay off the total contract amount. You will also have the option to pay one installment for your entire contract amount, or pay in two installments for the entire contract amount.

We accept payment via check, money order, or through the online system here.

All residents are required to have renter’s insurance. If you do not submit your own renter’s insurance policy for approval, you will be auto enrolled into The Summit’s renter’s insurance policy in which a monthly fee will be added to your scheduled billing. The Summit’s insurance will not cover your personal belongings. For more information on what is required of the renter’s insurance policy you can contact the Leasing Office.

The lease contract is binding after 72 hours of receiving the primary lease holder’s signature. If the primary lease holder does not provide written cancelation within 72 hours of signing, the lease cannot be canceled. If you would like to cancel your lease or move out early, you will need to relet your space. Please call the Leasing Office for more 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 and packages will be delivered to your apartment’s mailbox or our secured Luxer package system. Both are located in The Summit’s leasing office.

We suggest that you bring bedding, toiletries, dishes/cookware, cleaning supplies, shower curtains, trash cans, and decorations to make your space feel like home!

Yes. The property’s 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.
