Question 1

Do you work with students who use student loans or financial aid?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! We understand the timing of student loans and financial aid, and we're happy to accommodate. If you sign with us, you'll receive a Welcome Letter towards the end of May. This letter will include all the details of your lease and help you prepare for your move-in at the end of summer. By July 1st, you'll need to either pay your rent in full, begin monthly payments, or provide proof of your loans/financial aid. This proof can be an email confirmation of loan approval, a screenshot of your loan account, or any documentation showing your loans have been submitted and processed successfully. Be sure that your proof shows your name and email it to Nikki at nikki.morucci@gmail.com.(mailto:nikki.morucci@gmail.com) Rent and monthly payments can be mailed in or paid electronically. You'll find more information about this below.

Question 2

How much is the security deposit?

Accepted Answer

$400 for undergrad students, $350 for graduate students.

Question 3

How do we make payments like security deposit/rent?

Accepted Answer

We recommend using the Rent Payment App available on our website. If you link a bank account, there’s no fee. To access the app, visit moruccirealty.com,(http://moruccirealty.com/) go to the "Info" tab, select "Pay Your Rent," and choose the Rent Payment App. For the security deposit, select the "Security Deposit" option. For all future rent payments, use the "Rent" option. When searching for your property, enter the numerical code, and it will autofill for you. Alternatively, you can mail checks to Michael Morucci at 151 E. Ridge Avenue, Bloomsburg, PA 17815.

Question 4

Do all students on lease turn in a notarized parental guarantee form?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we require all students on the lease to submit notarized parental guarantee forms within two weeks of signing the lease. These forms are essential as they help personalize the financial responsibilities of the lease and provide protection in case a member of your group drops out. You can find the form on our website at moruccirealty.com (http://moruccirealty.com/)under "Lease Agreement & Forms.

Question 5

If we sign a lease, when do we move in?

Accepted Answer

If you need to move in earlier than the standard date, we can accommodate that if noted in the “Exceptions” section of your lease when we sign. I can usually arrange early move-ins if confirmed at the time of lease signing. Otherwise, move-in typically occurs the weekend before school starts—Friday through Sunday. Whenever possible, I allow early move-ins during the summer when my schedule permits. We’ll keep you updated about these arrangements through our group chat over the summer, ensuring you stay well-informed.

Question 6

How do we communicate with you throughout the year? For example, with maintenance requests, general questions, or off-street parking issues.

Accepted Answer

Upon signing the lease, all tenants will be added to a group text with me. This is the primary way I communicate with everyone and address any questions or maintenance requests. If parents wish to be included, they can be added to the group chat as well. During the lease signing, I’ll share the lease document and provide links to the parental guarantee form along with instructions for submission. The group text helps keep everything organized and clear, ensuring direct communication with me, Nikki. I will use the group chat to update you on maintenance schedules and keep all information straightforward and accessible.

Question 7

Is snow removal and lawn care included?

Accepted Answer

Yes, snow removal and lawn care are included in your lease at no additional charge to you.

Question 8

If utilities aren’t included, what is the average cost?

Accepted Answer

Utility costs can vary based on usage, but a typical estimate ranges from $800 to $1,300 per student per year. This range is based on data from past and current tenants, as well as my personal experience with utility expenses.

Question 9

What if we want to re-sign for the following year?

Accepted Answer

Students who choose to re-sign for the following year can store their belongings over the summer at no extra cost. We only ask that you keep the water and electricity on, and ensure that bedroom doors remain unlocked throughout the summer. This is necessary because the town conducts inspections and needs access to these utilities and rooms. During winter break, you can leave your apartment as is, but please keep the heat set to 67°F or higher to prevent pipes from freezing. Frozen pipes can cause costly damage, and we'll keep you informed as you prepare for winter break. Additionally, you are welcome to stay in your apartment during winter break if you wish—the apartment is yours for the entire period.

Question 10

Do you have any more questions, or would you like a more in-depth look at what living off-campus is like with us?

Accepted Answer

I suggest visiting our website and reviewing our Move-In Guide. This guide, which is required reading before your August move-in, was carefully crafted by me to address common questions and provide clear information. To access it, go to moruccirealty.com,(http://moruccirealty.com/) navigate to "Info," select "Move In/Move Out Guide," and choose the Move-In Guide. While it's not necessary to read it until you're preparing to move in, it can be a valuable resource if you're looking for more details. I'm available by cell @ 570-854-2301 (tel:570-854-2301) Monday - Friday before 10 PM and would be happy to answer any additional questions you may have.
