What is an individual lease?
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!
What is a rental installment?
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 VERVE. Helpful Hint: Because we’ve divided your total rental installment into equal payments, August’s rental payment will be the same as all other months.
Are utilities included?
VERVE covers water, sewer, internet and trash services. Students will split the electricity bill evenly with the roommates. We will set up individual accounts with Conservice, and students will pay their rent plus their portion of the electric bill to the leasing office in one payment.

Do you offer a roommate matching service if I don’t bring my own roommates?
Yes! VERVE has a roommate matching program. During the application process, you’ll fill out a roommate profile questionnaire which allows us to match you with roommates who have similar interests. Additionally, we’ve programmed with RoomSync, an app allowing you to create a profile so you can swipe on potential roommates.

Is renter’s insurance required? Does VERVE offer renter’s insurance?
