FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What are Individual Leases?
Individual leasing means peace of mind for you. Your financial responsibility is only for your space unlike many apartments or rental houses where a joint lease is signed. If a roommate transfers to another school or moves out of Bixby for any reason, you do not have to worry about having to cover their portion of rent. This is just another reason why Bixby is a Kennesaw State University student’s best housing option!
What if I have a problem with my apartment?
Our maintenance staff will respond to your student’s maintenance issues quickly and professionally. Bixby offers 24-hour emergency maintenance as well so that your student’s comfort is not affected.
What living options are available?
Bixby offers many spacious floor plan options so you will easily be able to find one to suit your needs. We have studio, one-bedroom, two-bedroom, four-bedroom, and five-bedroom apartments. All bedrooms have their own bathroom. Your rent includes utilities (electricity w/ green cap, water, sewer, trash), premium cable, wired and Wi-Fi Internet, furniture, access to Bixby amenities, and so much more!
What Furniture should I bring?
Bixby is a fully-furnished community, saving you money! Each resident will have a bed, large desk and chair, under bed / stackable dresser drawers, full–size closets, and private bathroom. The living area comes with a comfortable couch, chair, coffee table and an entertainment stand. The kitchen comes fully equipped with quartz countertops with an extended bar area with bar stools provided, stainless steel like appliances, full-size refrigerator with icemaker, dishwasher, and washer & dryer.
Do I have to find roommates before signing?
If you do not have a roommate in mind, we can find you one! Each resident at Bixby will fill out a Roommate Matching form so that we know what they are looking for in a roommate. During the summer, we spend weeks looking at these preferences and matching them up with the best person we can find!
Do you host activities at BIXBY?
While the main focus of your college career will be about graduating and getting a fulfilling job, you also need to have fun along the way. At Bixby, you will create life- long relationships and connections that will make them even more successful. Our great staff plans monthly resident events to get you and your neighbors involved.

Do you allow pets?

Is there insurance coverage in the event of a fire, theft or natural causes? Does my lease provide coverage for my belongings?
Bixby’s insurance will not cover your personal belongings. We suggest getting renter’s insurance for this reason. It is generally inexpensive and will cover your personal belongings if something were to happen.
What if I need to break my lease or don't return for the spring semester?
Bixby’s lease is binding and cannot be broken. If you cannot live at Bixby after signing your lease, you will need to re-let, or find a replacement for your space. Please call the leasing office for information on re-letting.

If you need maintenance, simply go to your resident portal on our website and fill out a maintenance request. You can also call or stop by the front desk. If it is an emergency, please notify the front office immediately.

Are leases for families with children available?
Yes. The property’s policy is included here for family occupants with a child(ren) under the age of eighteen (18) who is domiciled with (i) at least one parent, legal guardian, or another person having legal custody of the child under the age of eighteen, or (ii) the designee of such parent or other person having such custody, with written permission of such parent or other person. For family households with children, all household members age eighteen (18) or older must: (A) complete an application, and (B) sign the lease as a Resident. For family households with children under the age of eighteen (18), at least two (2) people will be permitted to occupy a single bedroom. If a family household with children under the age of eighteen (18) requires additional occupancy per bedroom, additional occupants may be allowed on a case-by-case basis based on factors including, but not limited to, the size of the bedroom(s) and unit, age of the children, configuration of the unit, any physical limitations of the property, and local occupancy codes. If the child occupant reaches eighteen (18) years of age during the term of the lease, the lease will be allowed to complete its term, but renewal will only be offered in compliance with the occupancy policy as stated. Child occupants who are under twenty-four (24) months at the time the lease is signed will not be counted under the occupancy policy for purposes of maximum occupancy but will be counted for subsequent leases if they reach the age of twenty-four (24) months during the term of the lease. The Landlord has the right to lease any empty bedroom(s). 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.
