What Is An Individual Lease?
Hub Orlando offers leases by the bed, not by the full apartment. That means each resident signs for their own bedroom space and a monthly installment rather than taking responsibility for the entire unit.
For parents, this structure can make student housing easier to understand. Your student’s lease is tied to their assigned space and agreement, not a roommate’s payment history or lease status.
Learn MoreHow This Works In Your Favor
With individual leasing, your student is responsible for their own lease. A roommate’s missed payment does not become your student’s payment, and lease responsibilities stay separate between residents.
This makes budgeting easier for families because monthly installments are tied to your student’s selected space, floor plan, lease term, and current availability. Students can still live with friends or use roommate matching while keeping financial responsibilities separate.
Individual leasing also gives students practice in managing payments, asking questions, reading updates, and handling their apartment responsibilities throughout the lease term.

Moving into your Orlando college apartment doesn’t have to be hard. Hub Orlando is designed to make your move-in process as streamlined as possible.
Before Move-In
Because Hub Orlando apartments come fully furnished, students can focus on personal essentials and décor rather than purchasing and moving large furniture. Families should plan to bring bedding, towels, toiletries, cookware, cleaning supplies, laundry supplies, school items, chargers, electronics, personal décor, everyday clothing, and shoes.
Shared household items should be coordinated with roommates before move-in. This helps students avoid bringing duplicate items and keep the apartment more organized from the start.
On Move-In Day
Once students arrive, they should take a few minutes to walk through the apartment and confirm that the main items are in place, including furniture, appliances, keys, and access items. If anything is missing, damaged, or not working as expected, they should report it to the on-site leasing team as soon as possible.
From there, it usually helps to unpack first-night essentials first. Bedding, toiletries, chargers, school supplies, and a few basic kitchen items can make the first night feel more manageable while the rest of the apartment comes together over time.
Settling In
A few personal touches can make a furnished apartment feel more familiar. Photos, desk items, favorite blankets, decorations, and small items from home can help students settle in without overpacking.
Students should also take time to learn the building early. Finding the study spaces, fitness areas, package area, parking, bike storage, common spaces, and leasing office can make the first few days easier as students begin life at Hub Orlando.
Location is a major factor for parents comparing apartments near UCF. Hub Orlando is located at 11012 Hub Plaza in Orlando, FL, near the University of Central Florida and everyday destinations that matter to students.
Nearby Orlando Destinations
Hub Orlando is close to Waterford Lakes Town Center, giving students access to shopping, dining, and errands within a short drive. This can be useful for groceries, everyday supplies, meals with friends, or quick trips away from campus.
Getting to Campus
Hub Orlando is a short drive from major UCF destinations, such as a 5-minute drive (2.0 miles) to the main campus, a 9-minute drive (3.0 miles) to the UCF Recreation and Wellness Center, a 12-minute drive (3.6 miles) to the John C.

Tour To Learn MoreParking
Parking is available in the multi-level garage for an additional monthly fee. Families should confirm availability, pricing, and eligibility before signing.
Biking and Scooters
Hub Orlando offers bike storage for students who bring a bike or scooter. This can be helpful for students who want another way to get to class, nearby errands, or local destinations without relying on a car for every trip.
Rideshare and Local Mobility
For trips beyond walking or biking distance, students use rideshare, personal vehicles, bikes, scooters, or other local transportation options, depending on their schedule and destination.
Families may want to talk through how the student will get to class, buy groceries, attend appointments, travel to internships or jobs, plan late-night transportation, and get around on weekends or game days.
Off-campus living gives students a chance to take more ownership of day-to-day responsibilities while still having parents and guardians available for guidance. At Hub Orlando, students should generally be the primary point of contact for routine housing matters, including payments, maintenance requests, lease questions, roommate communication, and community updates.
What Students Should Handle Directly
Students are expected to manage the everyday details that come with apartment living. This includes submitting maintenance requests, reading community updates, checking portal messages and emails, tracking monthly installment dates, asking lease-related questions early, communicating with roommates, following community policies, and keeping parents informed when needed.
These responsibilities help students build confidence and learn how to communicate clearly throughout the lease term.
How Parents Can Stay Involved
Parents and guardians still play an important role without taking over every detail. The most helpful approach is often to guide students before issues come up, then encourage them to communicate directly when they need help.
Parents stay involved by reviewing the lease together before signing, creating a shared budget plan, tracking payment dates and renewal timing, talking through move-in and move-out expectations, discussing groceries and cleaning, and setting a plan for family check-ins.
