We know what you’re thinking. Can’t wait until move-in? We’re not so patient either. That’s why we created a list of only the most important need-to-knows for your upcoming move.
In the meantime, drop us a line if you have any questions or just want to chat. No ridiculously long phone menu when you call us – we promise.
Here’s to the start of a healthy (digital) relationship.
KEEP SCROLLING
If you haven’t already marked your calendar, grab a pen (or tell Siri) to take note. Move-in begins at 9:00am on August 18, 2023. When you arrive at The Republic for move-in, please follow the signs to check-in and pick up the keys to your new home.
If you want to avoid late charges (and who doesn’t?), you’ll want to make sure that your first installment is paid by August 1, 2023. Late charges will apply unless we have received the first installment payment by August 3, 2023. Checks or money orders should be made payable to The Republic at Lubbock and can be mailed or brought directly to our office.
You can also pay online through the resident portal using a debit card, credit card or electronic checking transfer, or by automatic recurring charge to your debit card, credit card or bank account. There are no convenience fees when paying from your bank account or with a check.
Nothing ruins move-in faster than missing paperwork (trust us). If you haven’t done so already, please submit your guarantor form. We’ll need to approve this before you’re able to move-in. No guarantor? Sign up with Leap by selecting this option on your application or by calling our office today. Alternately, you will be required to prepay the final two installments in advance in order to move in, as described in your Housing Agreement.
Please also note that there is a monthly administrative fee of $4.50 to maintain your electricity billing, as provided in your Housing Agreement. This amount will be billed with your regular installments. Our billing provider, Conservice, will e-mail statements for electricity billing directly to each resident, but all payments must be submitted to us using one of the payment methods outlined above.
It’s probably not something you normally think about, but you are required to have at least $100,000 of liability protection by the time you move in, and throughout your stay with us. This doesn’t cost much, and is designed to protect you if you accidentally cause a fire or flood. As unlikely as that sounds, if something happens, you’ll be very glad to have it. How easy have we made it to take care of this requirement? You don’t have to do anything at all; we’ll automatically charge your account $12 per installment, waive the requirement to provide separate insurance, and buy our own insurance to cover the same risks. If you have your own liability insurance and don’t want to be charged for this, please upload your insurance certificate and we’ll let you know right away if it meets the requirements. We also recommend insuring your personal property—click here for an easy option for this optional coverage.
Happiness is spending all day by the pool and the evening by the fire. So why waste time waiting in line?
To get on the fast track for check-in, click here for your resident portal link and register online. From here, you’ll want to make sure you can answer yes to each of the questions below:
If you answered yes to all of the above, you’re one step closer to your next adventure. Besides that, all you need to bring with you is a valid photo ID (and an appetite, we’ll have snacks waiting for you). Please click here to sign up for a move-in time on your desired move-in date. Contact us if you have any questions.
Bringing a four-legged friend? Please be sure to let us know by clicking here so all of your documents are fully signed before move-in. We will need to know the type of animal, breed, and weight in order to send you the pet addendum. In order for your fur fam to officially join our community, we require a signed pet addendum and consent from roommates (if applicable).
What you take with you matters. To show you how glad we are that you’ll be here, we’ve put together a master packing list for you. Quite simply, you’ll find everything you need. And nothing you don’t.
Living room
Bedroom
Kitchen
Those things you need, but you’re really not sure what category they fall in
You’ll want to spend some time getting familiar with the Community Policies. You can find these online here. And if you want a hard copy, we won’t judge you. We might even high-five you. And if our policies are the only thing you read all day, then job well done!
