CHEAT SHEET.

Get the living Lucky basics:

Q. How much is the application fee?
A. Zero. Zip. Nothing. There's no application fee at Lucky101. But if you want us to hold a space for you, we do ask for a completely refundable $100 deposit. This deposit will be returned if you decide not to attend the University or if you choose to live somewhere else.

Q. Are any utilities included in the rent?
A. Yep. We provide heat, water, electric, and Internet access.

Q. Do you offer roommate matching?
A. We can help you find the right roomie. Just fill out the roommate matching form (download here) to get started.

Q. How many people will live at Lucky101?
A. 180-200 freshman.

Q. What if I sign a lease and I don't get accepted to the UW-Madison?
A. Total refund. If you are denied admission you will be released from your lease and all money will be refunded to you. We'll simply need a copy of the official denial letter for our records.

Q. When are installments due?
A. There are nine installments due on the 1st each month, August through April.

Q. Do I have to leave during campus breaks?
A. Heck no. You are entitled to be in your apartment during the entire lease term. Our building will remain open during all University breaks.

Q. What furniture will be in the apartment?
A. Each apartment comes with a living room set, a writing desk and chair, one twin bed for each resident and stools for the breakfast bar.

Q. How do I pay rent?
A. You can pay by cash, check, recurring automatic deduction from your bank account or by credit/debit card (online or by phone). Please note that credit/debit card payments are subject to a third party service fee.

Q. Does my lease provide insurance coverage for my things?
A. Your personal property is not covered under your lease agreement. We encourage you to purchase renters insurance. It's inexpensive and well worth its value.

Q. What kind of protection measures does Lucky101 take?
A. Lucky has surveillance cameras in the common areas and uses key cards for access to the building, common areas, apartments and to each bedroom. In addition, we have a 24-hour service desk.

Q. Is Lucky101 smoke-free?
A. Completely. We are tobacco- and chemical-free.

Q. What if I change my mind after I sign my lease or end up not coming back for the second semester?
A. We realize circumstances change, but unfortunately once a lease is signed it is a legally binding agreement. The only way to get out of the lease is if another resident, previously approved by the owner, takes over the lease for you.

Q. What about laundry and trash?
A. There's a trash room and a laundry room on every floor. The laundry machines are operated with your key card and they have an on-line monitoring system so you can check availability and cycle status from the comfort of your couch.

Q. What happens if after I move in I don't like my roommate?
A. We'll do everything we can to help you. Our Resident Assistants are trained to work through roommate issues with you.

Q. When can I move in?
A. The standard move-in date for Lucky101 is generally a few days before classes at the UW start. We also offer an opportunity for you to sign up for early move-in for a nominal programming fee. This is a great opportunity to get used to the campus and make new friends before you have to hit the books!

Q. Where do I submit my application?
A. You can submit an application online, or by visiting our leasing office at 777 University Ave. in downtown Madison, Wisconsin.

Q. Why should I choose to live with Lucky101?
A. Why shouldn't you? It's the coolest living and learning community on campus, smack in the middle of city life. No other residence hall can compete with Lucky101's programs, location, luxury, convenience or awesome amenities. With excellent Steve Brown service at your back and all of UW shopping, sports and fun at your doorstep, Lucky101 is the place to be.
