Individual leasing means peace of mind for you. An individual lease is a per-bed lease. You sign a lease for a bed space in the apartment and share common areas with roommates. This means you are only responsible for your own installments. If a roommate transfers to another school or moves out of The Hive for any reason, you do not have to worry about having to cover their portion of rent.
A guarantor is a co-signer for your lease agreement. Because students often don’t have an income, having a guarantor allows us to qualify you for a lease based on your guarantor’s income.
You will list the name and email of your guarantor during the application process, and your guarantor will receive an email to fill out their portion of the application.
We require all residents at The Hive to have a guarantor or sign up for LEAP.
Leap fills in for a personal guarantor or parent cosigner, allowing you to sign a lease where you otherwise would not qualify. Leap charges a monthly fee for the term of the lease in order to cosign your lease.
For applicants who do not have a credit history in the US and/or a guarantor, The Hive will accept a prepayment of two installments in lieu of credit/guarantor requirements. Prepaid installments are applied to the last two months of your lease term.
Additionally, applicants who are citizens of another country must provide at least two of the following: 1) a passport; 2) the INS document that entitles the applicant to be in the United States; 3) proof of employment in the United States; 4) an I-20 verifying student status; and/or 5) proof of enrollment.
We need your Social Security number in order to run standard credit and criminal background checks.
The Hive is using software from Entrata to keep your personal information secure. All of your data, including your name, email, birth date, and Social Security number, are secured using encryption techniques that banks use to keep your financial information private. Data is transferred via an SSL/TLS connection using 2048-bit encryption between your computer and Entrata’s servers.

Here at The Hive, we offer professional roommate matching, done by hand by one of our managers. In your application, you will fill out a roommate section and answer a few questions that we use to fit you to your best match.
If there’s anything you feel we should know to make the best match possible, please contact our leasing team at thehiveiowa@assetliving.com for assistance.
The Hive does not offer co-ed roommate matching. If you would like to live in a co-ed unit, we would be happy to accommodate, we just require you fill your unit.
First, we will get to know you through your rental application. You will fill out the application online, listing your preferences and linking your roommates, if you have already chosen them.
Additionally, team members hold most property tours in person, and are trained to ask certain questions so that we can best meet your needs. We take notes and then add them to your account as supplemental matching information.
You’ll meet your matches about a month before moving in! We wait until then to ensure we’ve connected you with the best match possible.
Renter’s insurance is required for all residents at The Hive. Residents may provide their own third-party insurance to be contracted directly, or you may opt-in to The Hive’s landlord-provided rental insurance, LRIP. LRIP is $12.95/month. You will be automatically charged for LRIP unless you provide proof of third-party insurance that meets our requirements as described in your lease.

Before move-in, Conservice will send a welcome email with more information including your web pin (password) and account number (username). Nothing needs to be done before then. For information on utilities, see our fees section.
The Hive Social Team plans monthly resident events that you won’t want to miss. We will also keep our members connected to events going on at the university, as well as events happening around town so they don’t miss anything!

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 localoccupancy 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.
