No. Utilities are not included in our listed room price. Our amazing utilities and amenities package (all city utilities, maid service, 1GB fiber, laundry, yard care, exclusive event tickets) is $140/month per person on top of the listed rent price.

This amount is fixed and never goes up if rooms are empty.

6. What is the deposit amount?

Our upfront deposit is equal to one month’s rent - $100 of which is a non-refundable turnover and cleaning fee. For example, if the room you select is $550 per month to rent - then the deposit will be $550, with $450 of that being refundable at move-out.
