At Hub Speedway, we offer by-the-bed, or individual, leases, which are a common structure in student housing. This means our leases are based on the individual resident rather than the entire apartment.
What Is an Individual Lease?
With an individual lease, each resident signs their own lease for their assigned bedroom space. That means your student is responsible for their own monthly installment and lease obligations, not the full apartment or a roommate’s portion.

Reduced Financial Risk
Because our leases are individual, residents are not typically responsible for a roommate’s missed payments or lease responsibilities.
Predictable Monthly Costs
Individual leasing gives families a clearer monthly installment structure, making budgeting easier throughout the lease term.
Simplified Roommate Dynamics
Students may live with friends or use roommate matching when available, while each resident’s financial responsibility remains separate.
Guarantor Support
Many student housing communities, including ours, require or allow a guarantor, often a parent or guardian, to help students qualify for housing and support lease obligations if needed.
Student Independence
Our individual leasing structure helps students build responsibility while giving families a clearer understanding of what their student is financially accountable for.
One of the most helpful parts of planning for off-campus living is knowing what comes with the apartment and what students should still budget for separately.

Check the Apartment at Arrival
When students arrive, they should walk through the apartment, confirm the expected furniture and appliances are in place, and report any concerns promptly through the proper community process.
Start With the Basics
Unpacking essentials first makes the first day smoother. Bedding, toiletries, chargers, medications, and basic kitchen items are usually the most helpful items to prioritize.
Building Routine and Community
Get Familiar With the Property
We encourage students to take time to learn where amenities, study areas, mail or package areas, bike storage, parking, and management offices are located.
Keep Up With Community Updates
Email, the resident portal, or other community communication platforms may share important updates. Encouraging students to check these regularly helps them stay organized.
Hub Speedway is located at 850 E. Speedway Blvd. in Tucson, Arizona, near the University of Arizona. The community is only a 10-minute walk to the University of Arizona and an 11-minute walk to the Student Union Memorial Center.
Getting Around Tucson
Students may use walking, biking, scooters, rideshare, public transportation, or personal vehicles, depending on their schedule and preferences.
Proximity to Campus
Because we are close to campus, daily routines are easier for students, whether they are heading to class, studying on campus, meeting friends, or participating in student activities.
Biking and Alternative Transportation
Free covered bike storage is included, as well as storage for scooters.
Parking and Vehicle Access
For residents who bring a car, we offer garage parking availability and controlled-access garage parking. Access to our parking garage starts at $95 per month.
At Hub Speedway, students are typically the primary point of contact for their lease, apartment, payments, maintenance requests, and community updates. This helps residents build independence and stay accountable for their housing experience.
How Parents and Guardians Stay Informed
- Review the lease and fee disclosure together before signing.
- Discuss rent installment dates and other monthly costs.
- Encourage your student to use the resident portal for payments and maintenance requests.
- Keep track of move-in, renewal, and move-out timelines.
- Contact our leasing team for general questions, while understanding that account-specific details may require student permission.
How Communication Works
Students are the primary contact
Residents are generally expected to submit requests, ask questions, monitor updates, and manage account responsibilities.
Privacy matters
Our team may be limited in what we share with parents or guardians unless the student has provided proper consent.
Parents still play an important support role
Families should review lease documents together, talk through monthly responsibilities, and encourage students to communicate early if questions come up to our leasing team.
What is a guarantor, and why might one be required?
A guarantor is typically a parent, guardian, or other qualified adult who agrees to help cover the financial responsibilities of the lease if the student does not meet them. Because many students do not yet meet income or credit requirements on their own, a guarantor helps them qualify for housing.
Guarantor responsibilities are usually tied to the student’s lease obligations, which may include monthly installments, fees, damages, or other charges outlined in the lease. In some cases, students may qualify without a traditional guarantor if they meet our qualification requirements or use an approved alternative.
Options vary, so students and families should contact our leasing team to confirm current requirements and review the guarantor agreement carefully before signing.
Are housing contracts per apartment or per bed?
At Hub Speedway, we offer leases by the bed, not by the unit. This means each resident signs an individual lease for their own space rather than sharing one lease for the full apartment.
How do students pay rent?
Residents pay rent through the Resident Portal. Students should contact our leasing office with any payment questions.
Are utilities and internet included?
We provide free high-speed WiFi throughout the community. Other utility costs, billing methods, and fees vary, so families should review the lease and current fee disclosure for the most accurate details.
How are maintenance requests handled?
Our on-site team and after-hours support are available to help resolve issues. Students should use our maintenance process or the resident portal to submit requests and follow up with the team as needed.
May parents contact the property directly?
Parents and guardians may contact us with general questions, but specific account, lease, payment, or resident information may require the student’s consent. This helps protect student privacy while still allowing families to support the process.
Is there a resident portal?
We provide a resident portal. Parents should check with their student and our leasing team to understand whether parent or guarantor access is available for specific account-related needs.
What should students know about move-in and move-out?
Students should review all move-in and move-out instructions from Hub Speedway, including key dates, arrival procedures, condition forms, cleaning expectations, and any checkout requirements. Parents should help by reviewing the lease and reminders with their student before each deadline.
