Most Commonly Asked Questions for
1. Are utilities included? Yes, your landlord pays for high speed Internet and all utilities. The Students also pay for telephone should they connect to local service and not just use their own cell phone.
2. Can I pay monthly? What if I have a scholarship? In most cases, rent for Fall semester is due on August 1st. It is due on December 1st for Spring semester. Students can pay in installments if they and their parents live in the State of Utah and if their parents sign a guaranty and credit card authorization agreement for the rent. There is a $50 per semester charge for those paying in installments. Those that pay with installments are required to pay 1/3rd of the semester's rent plus the $50 per semester charge for those paying in installments on August 1st for Fall semester or move in date, whichever comes first, 1/3rd on September 1st, and 1/3rd on October 1st. For Spring semester 1/3rd of the semester's rent plus the $50 per semester charge is due Dec 1st, 1/3 January 1st, and the balance is due on Feb 1st. For those with scholarships or financial aid covering rent we realize most scholarships or financial aid packages are not funded until about a month into the semester. In such cases you need your parents to sign a guaranty and credit card authorization agreement (for scholarships and financial aid this is ok even for out of state students but not for students who live outside of the United States) and you need to provide written confirmation from SUU of the scholarship or financial aid. Once this information is given then those with scholarships or financial aid pay as follows: Fall semester: 1/3rd of the semester's rent is due on August 10th or upon move-in whichever comes first and the balance is due one month from the first day of Fall Semester or the day the scholarship or financial aid is received whichever comes first. Spring semester: 1/3 of the semester's rent is due on December 1st and the balance is due one month from the beginning of Spring semester or the day the scholarship or financial aid is received whichever comes first. If your scholarship or financial aid is not here within 30 days from the start of the semester, or if we cannot confirm with the school that it will be here soon thereafter, then we treat you like a student paying “monthly” (see above) until the scholarship funds arrive to pay the balance of your rent.
3. Does my deposit go towards my rent? No. The deposit is used as security for any damages caused or cleaning that is not taken care of at the end of the lease. A non-refundable sum of $100.00 is deducted for carpet cleaning, window cleaning, fixing all holes in the wall of a reasonable size from hanging picture frames, and touch up painting which is done each year after the students leave. The rest of the deposit, less unpaid amounts under the lease, damages, and cleaning fees, if any, will be mailed back to you.
4. Do I have to sign a 2 semester contract? Yes unless you come only for Spring Semester which starts in January. If you come for Spring Semester only you may sign a one semester contract.
5. Can we
use nails, tacks or sticky tape on the walls? You may use small nails and tacks
but no sticky tape. We patch the
holes and touch up paint each year.
If you use large nails, use sticky tape, or create an unusually high number of nail holes we
will make the repairs and deduct it from your deposit. Sticky tape should never be used.
