Varsity House Gainesville offers individual leases per person instead of per apartment. This means if your roommate fails to pay their rent or moves out, you won’t be held responsible.

Varsity House Gainesville payment installments include furniture and appliances, utilities like sewer, internet, and electricity usage up to $20 per bed.

Yes, we offer a roommate matching system. When you fill out your lease agreement, you’ll also fill out a resident profile card which includes a questionnaire about your lifestyle and preferences. If you need to be matched with a roomie, we’ll use this information to find you roommates with similar interests. We take roommate matching very seriously and spend a lot of time making sure that we find just the right fit.

You have three installment payment options to pay the entire amount due under the lease: one installment, two installments, or twelve installments. If you choose to pay a single installment for the entire amount, that single installment is due August 1. If you choose to pay in two semester installments, those installments are due August 1 and January 1. If you choose to pay in twelve installments, the first installment is due on August 1 and the remaining eleven installments are due on the 1st of the next eleven months. Please note, these are all installment payment options and not monthly rent.

We accept payment via check, money order, or online payments through our resident portal, which can be found on this website.

No guarantor, no problem! Varsity House offers a Guarantor Waiver Program option or LEAP as an option. Leap is a quick and easy process for you.

Yes. This policy is for family occupants with one or more children under the age of 18 who are domiciled with (i) at least one parent, legal guardian, or another adult with legal custody of the children, or (ii) the designee of a parent, guardian, or other adult with legal custody, with written permission of such parent or other adult.

For family households with children, all household members 18 or older must (A) complete an application, and (B) sign the lease as a resident. For family households with children under 18, at least two people will be permitted to occupy a single bedroom. If a family household with children under the age of 18 requires additional occupancy per bedroom, additional occupants may be allowed on a case-by-case basis, depending on factors including but not limited to the size of the bedroom(s) and unit, age of the children, configuration of the unit, physical limitations of the property, and local occupancy codes.

If a child reaches 18 years of age during the term of the lease, the lease will be allowed to complete its term, but the renewal will only be offered in compliance with the occupancy policy as stated for those aged 18 and above. Children under 24 months of age at the time of lease signing will not be counted under the occupancy policy for purposes of maximum occupancy, but they will be counted for subsequent leases if they reach the age of 24 months during the term of the lease. The landlord reserves the right to lease any empty bedroom(s) in a unit.

Families should contact the office directly regarding the application for family households, as this process varies from individual leasing and the required forms are not all available electronically.

We do allow minors to live with us. The way we set-up a minor account is slightly different. Contact our leasing office to get your minor application completed.
