What are the total costs?
Monthly rent varies depending on unit type and bedspace. Please contact our office at live@hubwilliam.com to learn more.
Is it required to have renter insurance or liability insurance?
Yes, insurance is required. We offer it for $13.95/month and can be added to your lease!
What are the lease terms, and are there any penalties for early termination?
The lease starts on August 19th 2026 and ends July 25th 2027. If you need to terminate early, you must relet your space by finding someone to take over your lease and pay a $500 relet fee. If you cannot find a replacement, you’ll remain responsible for the lease.
What documents are required to sign a lease?
You’ll need to provide a form of ID, such as a social security number, passport number, VISA number, or driver’s license number. You’ll also need to provide an I-20. If you have a guarantor, they’ll need to provide the same information. For assistance, feel free to contact our front office by email or phone, or visit us in the lobby during office hours!
Do I need a guarantor or co-signer to qualify?
A guarantor or co-signer is not mandatory. If you don’t have one, you can enroll in the LEAP program, which helps students without access to a guarantor or security deposit. For just $43 per month, LEAP secures your space at Hub William without the need for an income/credit check and allows you to add a guarantor later if needed.

We have surveillance cameras in hallways and amenities, along with an on-site security officer and 24-hour on-site staff. Each unit features an electronic lock that can be accessed via passcode or app, and we offer an on-call service for emergencies when 911 may not be necessary.
Is there internet access / utilities included?
Yes, all residents have access to high-speed Wi-Fi, and every unit includes an ethernet port in each bedroom. The average Wi-Fi speed is approximately 200 Mbps for both downloads and uploads.
Are utilities (water, electricity, gas, internet, etc.) included in rent or billed separately?
Electricity, water, sewer and gas are not included in rent and will be billed to your resident portal each month.
What are the roommate policies, and is there assistance with matching?
Hub William offers free roommate matching services! If space is available, you can be matched with your preferred roommates. If you don’t have specific roommates in mind, we’ll match you with other tenants based on your preferences for noise, cleanliness, and more. Please note that co-ed matching is not presumed, so genders will be matched together.
