Housing Advanced Rent Payment

The advance rent payment of $225  is required to complete the Housing Contract and can be submitted after you complete the online portion of the contract. The advance rent payment must be received by your due date to complete your contract and be eligible for on-campus housing. If your payment is received and accepted after your due date, your Housing Application Date will be changed to the date your contract is received. This will affect your room selection date. Postmark is not accepted. Advance rent payments can be deferred only for Summer B PROMISE, and Fall students with Florida Prepaid College Program Housing Plan.

To pay your advance rent payment, please:

Make a Payment

First Payment

Your first rent payment is due before you move into your apartment. This payment is calculated based on the day of the month you move in. If you move in within the first five days on the month, you will pay a prorated amount based on a 30 day month. If you move-in on the sixth day of the month or later, you will pay a prorated amount for the first month, plus the entire second month's rent.

Moving in Late

You may move in at a later date than your scheduled move-in date as long as our office is open. This will not change your first bill. You must pay from the first date listed on your contract.

Electricity and Gas Payment

Electricity is billed monthly for the amount used in the previous month. Electricity is not covered in the rental rate, but is an existing service. Residents do not need to contract separately for electricity service.

Gas service is used in buildings that have not been renovated in Corry Village for cooking and heating. This service does require a deposit and turn on fee and also has a monthly bill and it is not billed by Housing and Residence Life. 

To have gas added to your apartment, you will need to contact Gainesville Regional Utilities (GRU) by phone at 352-334-3434.. Meters will be turned on between 8 a.m. - 5 p.m. weekdays, with a one day notice. A service technician will need to enter your apartment to check and light the stove and heater when the service is turned on. Monthly billing for gas will come directly to you from Gainesville Regional Utilities.

Transfer Payment

If you accept a transfer offer, you will be responsible for a transfer fee, electricity and rent in both apartments while you are in possession of the keys to each apartment. You will be billed for any amount that needs to be paid on your account from your previous apartment, you account may be adjusted if necessary.

Ways to pay

Students are responsible for paying rent by the due date or securing a rent deferment (for undergraduate students only) prior to the rent due date to avoid any late charges. Due dates are emailed to students Gatorlink email addresses.

For residents in Graduate and Family Housing, your first payment must be paid before you can move in to your apartment.
