FAQs

An individual lease is a by-the-bed lease, which means you are only responsible for the bedroom space you are assigned to and have a shared responsibility for common areas with your roommates. This also includes rental installments – so no worrying about if your roommates are late on payments!

Rental installment refers to the contract total price, divided equally 12 times for convenience. Your first installment will be due August 1 and your last installment is due July 1 unless you’ve elected to renew at LOCAL.

Since LOCAL offers individual leasing, all of our prices are on a per-person basis.

LOCAL covers water, sewer, trash services, and fiber-speed internet. Residents will split the electricity bill evenly with the roommates. We’ve made utility management simple and hassle-free. Your utility accounts are pre-set up through Conservice, so you don’t have to worry about contacting multiple providers to establish service. You will pay your monthly rent plus your utility charges in one single payment directly to the leasing office.
