To ensure all utilities are connected on the day of your move-in, you must make arrangements in advance for the connection of certain utilities.

We currently arrange set up for your water, sewer, and gas services (if applicable), which you will pay via your online Resident Portal. You must arrange electric service for yourself by contacting PPL Electric. You should also set up your internet/cable services if desired directly with Service Electric, Astound, or Verizon Fios. Your internet service is included in the monthly amenity fee; however, you’re welcome to choose a different provider if you prefer. Please contact the leasing office for details.

In addition to your monthly rent, there are certain recurring and one-time fees associated with your lease. These may include utilities, pet fees, parking, and other community charges. For a full list of fees, click here to view our Fees Sheet.

Yes! Damage caused by a resident is usually the financial responsibility of that resident, not the property owner. To fulfill lease obligations and to protect liability risks, The Hive residents are required to provide evidence of liability or property damage insurance at a minimum limit of $100,000. Residents may choose the insurance company and policy limits that are most appropriate for each situation, providing the minimum limit is satisfied. Please inform the insurance provider to have The Hive listed on the policy as an “interested party.”

For the convenience of residents who do not have a specific insurance agent identified, we have arranged for a convenient, affordable insurance option for The Hive community. Resident Shield has made available Renters Insurance to our residents. There is no application, no credit check, and acceptance is guaranteed for residents of The Hive! To learn more about this coverage, obtain a premium quote, or purchase a policy please visit ResidentShield.com or call 800-566-1186.
