The Cottages on Port Republic offers individual leasing. Each resident is only responsible for the rent of his/her bedroom, this is referred to as “by the bed” leasing rather than a “joint & several” lease. So, if one resident moves out, the remaining roommates are not responsible for that roommate's rent.

Rent is due on the 1st of every month; however there is a grace period until the 5th. On the 6th, rent is considered late and subject to a fine.

For your convenience, you can pay online via the property’s website (click RESIDENTS from the website menu) using a debit/credit card, set up an automatic withdrawal, or Echeck. We do not accept cash, physical checks or money orders.

The Resident Services Fee is a monthly, recurring fee that covers costs for Valet Trash services (3rd party service that removes trash from each apartment's front step), Package Locker services at the main clubhouse, shuttle services to James Madison University as well as maintenance of the property's amenity areas including dog park, hot tub and pool and clubhouse amenities.

Non-emergency service requests (choose whichever option works best for you):
• Submit a Service Request online using Resident Portal. Follow the prompts to complete the service request.
• Call the office and speak with a team member or leave a message if your call is after the office is closed.
For emergency situations (water leaks, and toilet back-up's, AC or Heating issues during weather extremes, non-functioning refrigerators, electrical outages, gas leaks and fire): Call the leasing office. We have someone available 24/7.

Your lease requires you to have a minimum of $300,000.00 in liability coverage. There are two options for obtaining the required renter’s insurance:

Option #1: By doing nothing, your residential unit will be automatically enrolled in the Landlord Required Insurance Policy (“LRIP”) Program which protects the Landlord’s property only, in exchange for a monthly fee of $18.

Option #2: Before your scheduled move-in date, procure a Renter's Insurance policy from a third-party insurer of your preference and provide evidence of coverage by submitting the policy or its declarations page at www.ho4verify.com/CampusApartments
