​​An individual lease provides each resident with their own separate lease agreement and responsibility for only his/her rental installments and applicable utility and parking charges. By signing an individual lease, you are only taking responsibility for your rental installments and lease terms and will not be held liable for any delinquent amounts owed by your roommate(s).

We offer a roommate matching service. Every resident completes a detailed roommate profile questionnaire prior to moving in, which Campus Circle Gainesville uses to match compatible residents based on their responses, including sleep habits, pets, lifestyle, schedule, etc.

Campus Circle Gainesville offers Internet, water, sewer, electricity, and trash removal. The Utility Charge is a flat fee based on the floor plan you have signed for. There are no overages, only the flat fee per month.

​Pets are allowed only if approved by management. One time fee due of $350 + $50 monthly charge per pet per month. You are responsible for your pet's actions at all times. Leashes are required when outside your dwelling. Dogs, cats, & support animals must be housebroken. All other animals must be caged at all times.

​​The typical lease term is approximately 11.5 months of occupancy which coincides with the university’s academic calendar. The resident is charged a total rent amount for the contracted occupancy period. The lease agreement will reflect the total rent amount typically divided into 12 equal installments due August 1 - July 1.  These installments do not represent a monthly rent amount and are not prorated.

Our company requires that all residents have $100k liability coverage. For your convenience, we offer a plan to fulfill this requirement. The cost for this plan is $15 per person per month (through 2024).  You may waive this coverage if you already have liability insurance through another provider however, you must submit a copy of your policy for review so we can ensure it meets our property requirements.  Opting out of plan coverage and submission of an alternative policy must be done within our portal https://portal.confirminsurance.com/s/.
 
We also offer Personal Contents Coverage (PCON) for $5 per person per month (through 2024).  Though this is not mandatory, if you would like to waive this coverage you must opt out of the plan within our portal https://hra.confirminsurance.com/ppp-opt-out.
