At Hub Los Angeles Figueroa, residents can lease by the bedroom through an individual lease.
How Individual Leasing Works
An individual lease means each resident signs a separate agreement for their own bedroom space and monthly installment. Your student is responsible for their assigned portion of the apartment, rather than the entire unit or any roommate’s share.
Contact UsBenefits for Students and Families
Individual leasing helps create a straightforward housing arrangement where students can build independence while families have a clearer view of costs and responsibilities.
Separate Financial Responsibility
With individual leasing, one resident is not responsible for another roommate’s unpaid rent. If a roommate moves out, transfers schools, or falls behind on payments, your student’s monthly obligation does not increase.
Consistent Monthly Installments
Each resident is responsible for their own monthly installment, helping families plan around a consistent housing payment.
Clearer Roommate Expectations
Students can live with friends or use roommate matching, while keeping each person’s lease and payments separate. This can help avoid financial misunderstandings between roommates and make shared living feel more manageable.
A smooth off-campus housing experience starts with knowing what is provided and what costs may come up outside of the monthly housing installment. At Hub Los Angeles Figueroa, furnished apartments help students begin off-campus living without needing to furnish an entire space from scratch.

Getting Ready for Move-In
Review the Details Early
Before move-in day, students and families should go over the lease, move-in timeline, community guidelines, and any required steps. Understanding these details in advance can help everyone know what to expect.
Pack Around What’s Already Provided
Since the apartments are furnished, students can focus on personal necessities like bedding, towels, toiletries, cookware, clothing, school supplies, and décor. Checking in with roommates before arrival can also help avoid bringing duplicate shared items.
Move-In Day
Set Up the Essentials First
Unpacking essentials such as bedding, chargers, toiletries, medications, and basic kitchen items first can help the first few days feel more comfortable while the rest of the space comes together.
Settling Into the Apartment
Add Familiar Touches
Even with furniture already in place, personal items can help the apartment feel more like home. Photos, blankets, storage pieces, and small decorations can make the space feel warm and familiar.
Explore the Property
Students should take time early on to find key areas around the community, such as study spaces, fitness areas, lounges, mail and package pickup, and other amenities they may use regularly.
Creating a Routine
Get to Know Others
Introducing themselves to roommates, neighbors, and other residents can help students feel more comfortable and connected in their new environment.
Take Part in Resident Events
Hub Los Angeles Figueroa hosts welcome activities and community events that give students opportunities to meet others and get involved in the community.
Watch for Updates
Students should regularly check resident emails, the Resident Portal, and community messages so they do not miss announcements, reminders, maintenance notices, or upcoming events.

How Communication Typically Works
Students Serve as the Main Contact
Residents are usually the primary point of contact for information related to their apartment, payments, maintenance requests, and community updates.
Privacy Guidelines Apply
Privacy laws and community policies may limit what details can be shared with parents or guardians without the student’s permission. This means the team may not be able to discuss specific lease information, account details, or resident situations unless the proper consent is in place.
Students Take the Lead
Residents are encouraged to submit work orders, ask questions, monitor community messages, and keep track of payment deadlines. These responsibilities help students build independence while learning to manage their housing experience.
Ways Parents and Guardians Can Stay Involved
Even when communication is directed through the student, families can still provide meaningful support.
Review Lease Information Together
Before signing, families and students can go through the lease, policies, payment expectations, and important dates together so everyone understands the commitment.
Keep an Open Line of Communication
Checking in regularly with your student about apartment life, roommate communication, maintenance concerns, and community updates can help prevent missed information.
Talk Through Important Deadlines
Families can help students stay organized by discussing installment due dates, renewal periods, move-in requirements, and move-out expectations.
Hub Los Angeles Figueroa is designed to support student independence while giving families practical ways to stay informed, prepared, and connected throughout the housing experience.

What is a guarantor responsible for?
A guarantor is generally responsible for the financial obligations listed in the student’s lease, which may include rent installments, fees, damages, or other lease-related charges if the resident does not pay. Families should review the guarantor agreement and lease documents carefully so everyone understands the responsibility before signing.
Some students may be able to lease without a guarantor if they meet the community’s qualification requirements or use an approved alternative, if available. Requirements can vary, so students should contact the leasing office to confirm current options.
Can parents access the lease or account information?
Specific lease, account, payment, or resident information may require the student’s consent before it can be shared with a parent or guardian. Families can review lease documents together and decide ahead of time how the student will share important housing information.

At Hub LA Figueroa, leases are based on the individual, not the full apartment. We offer leases by the bed, which means each resident signs for their own space rather than the entire unit.
