Leasing & Payments

Is Current Midtown For W&M Students Only?

No. Current Midtown is highly ideal for W&M students due to it’s proximity to campus and amenities that provide for a great environment to study and thrive, but is also open to any type of residents. Owner does not discriminate in the sale or rental of housing, including against individuals seeking a mortgage or housing assistance, or in other housing-related activities. We fully comply with the Fair Housing Act which prohibits this discrimination because of race, color, national origin, religion, sex, familial status, and disability. Owner fully complies to a variety of other federal civil rights laws, including Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act, and the Americans with Disabilities Act, which prohibit discrimination in housing and community development programs and activities, particularly those that are assisted with HUD funding. Various federal fair housing and civil rights laws require HUD and its program participants to affirmatively further the purposes of the Fair Housing Act.

How can I make sure I get emails from Current Midtown?

Please add leasing@currentmidtown.com and RS@currentmidtown.com to your approved senders list in your email account. This will ensure you receive all correspondences and nothing from us will go into your Junk or Spam folder.

What are general Lease Terms?

Reserve your room by only paying a nonrefundable reservation fee of $450 (Fall2020), and we never collect a security deposit.  We offer all “Individual leases”, meaning you will never be held responsible for your roommate(s) share of expenses or damage to their individual bedroom(s). Lease durations are 11.5 months (usually Aug 1st – July 15th) with the rent divided equally over 12 monthly installments.  All utilities are included in the cost of rent, so all your living is on one easy monthly payment. We also do lease apartment in the entirety vs by the bed, please enquire.

When are payments due?

Typically, payments are due on the FIRST of each month. For new residents, your first installment is due one month before move-in date and it replaces the installment due on your 1st month of tenancy.

Are all my payments displayed in one statement?

Yes, all residents and guarantors can access their monthly installments through Current resident portal. In addition, monthly invoice emails are sent.

Do you have a grace period?

We do not have a grace period. Installments are considered late after the 1st day of the month and the late fee is assessed at 12am on the 2nd day.

What is the cost of a late fee?

Our late fee is 10% of your monthly installment. Please, don’t cost yourself the extra money. Set up automatic payments at Current resident portal or contact RS@currentmidtown.com for assistance.

Is there a processing charge for online payment?

Currently there is not, but as stated we retain the right to access standard pass-through service charges from credit card companies.

What forms of payment do you take?

We accept credit/debit card (except American Express), through TENANT’s MyRentPortal.com account.Payment processing fees may be applied. Check, certified check or money orders made out to BSR CURRENT MIDTOWN, LLC may be mailed to corporate office P.O. Box 67336, Newark NJ 07101-4007. Sorry we do not accept cash.

What if I need to terminate my lease early?

How long do your leases run?

We have variable leases. Please contact the leasing office for further details.

Do you allow dual occupancy in your 1 Bed / 1 Bath Units or in the bedrooms of two / three / four bedroom units?

No in 2-Bed/2-Bath, 3-bed/3-bath or 4-bed/4-bath unit types.  Dual occupancy is only allowed in 1-bed/1-bath units, but that requires an additional monthly fee and both parties must sign a dual occupancy lease.

One of the great features of our complex is personal space and privacy – each resident has their own private bedroom and bathroom area. The only exception is for our 1 bed / 1 bath units.
