General Leasing Questions
How do our rates compare to on-campus housing rates?
How close to campus are you?
We are located less than 1 mile from the University of Florida.
What type of leases are available?
At The Accolade Collegiate Village East, we provide individual leases! An individual lease means that you are only responsible for your rental installment and not the rent of your roommate. With an individual lease, you have the rights to joint use of the common spaces and then individual rights to your bedroom and bathroom. All of our individual leases are for 12-month periods.
What utilities are included in my rent?
Our rental package covers high-speed internet, gas, pest control and trash. The resident is responsible for electric and water/sewer.
What size are the beds?
All bedrooms include full sized- extra long beds and mattresses. We suggest purchasing queen beddin
Can additional furniture be brought into the apartment?
You are welcome to bring additional furniture with you, but don't forget that we fully furnished all of our apartments. You are welcome to move the furniture around to best suit your preferences, however, if any furniture is removed from the property it will need to be stored at the expense of the resident and brought back at the end of your lease in the same condition it was orignally in.
If I am over 21 do I need a guarantor?
Yes. All leases are required to have a guarantor. If an approved guarantor cannot be obtained, The Accolade CVW will require a security deposit (1.5 x your base rate). The lease will not be sent until the security deposit is paid.
How are roommates assigned?
Roommates can be matched in a couple different ways – either you tell us who you want to live with, or if you don’t have roommates in mind, we are happy to do the matching for you! We look closely at the information both you and your potential roommates have provided in your application and on your roommate matching card and work to find people that have the same or similar preferences. Although we don’t guarantee a perfect match, you can rest assured that we do our best to find your perfect roommate.
Can I pay my bill with a credit card? Is there an extra charge?
Yes! View your balance, submit an electronic check, or pay with a VISA, MasterCard, American Express, or Discover from any computer or smartphone by clicking the "Resident Login" button. There are convenience fees that apply with the use of a credit card, or no fee for payments made by eCheck.
What if I need to cancel my lease?
Residents sign a legal binding contract for the entire term of lease. The Accolade CVW does offer reassignment options, which allows you to provide a new lease holder to presume responsibility over the remainder of your lease with a fee. Please contact the office for more information.
If I pay in full, do I get a discount?
Accolade CVW does not offer discounts for rent paid in full. However, prepayment gives you the peace of mind knowing that your account is in good standing at all times!
Do you allow pets?
The Accolade CVW is a pet friendly community for approved cats, dogs and service animals. No more than two animals are permitted in a single apartment. If interested in bringing a dog, it cannot be considered an aggressive breed and exceed 75 lbs fully grown. All animals must be approved by the property and we do not allow visiting pets.
Is parking available?
If you’re bringing a vehicle, there will be a monthly parking add on. Please reach out to the office for more details.
