Our leasing team keeps things simple and transparent. You can start online via RentCafe, upload documents like a photo ID and income proof, and select a lease term that fits your schedule. Once approved, you’ll sign electronically, pick your move‑in date, and arrange utilities.
We encourage a tour to see renovated studio, one bedroom, and two bedroom homes, all nestled in a quiet garden setting that emphasizes comfort and community.
What utilities are included with the rent?
Utilities included in your monthly rent cover the essentials that matter most in Florida living. Water, sewer, and trash are included in every lease, and pest control is provided to keep common areas and homes comfortable. Air conditioning, basic cable readiness, and internet services are available but billed separately or via the utility package depending on the plan you choose. This arrangement helps simplify budgeting while you enjoy a clean, quiet environment close to USF and downtown Tampa.
Lease Terms and Move-In
Our standard leases offer flexibility to fit different schedules, with options for twelve‑month terms and shorter arrangements where permitted. Renewal is simple, with notice timelines clearly stated in your lease. Move‑in availability is contingent on current occupancy and preparing your preferred unit, but we maintain transparent calendars and keep you informed every step of the way. Residents often appreciate the straightforward process, on‑site manager support, and the sense of community that grows as you settle into a renovated home.
Pet Policy Details and Fees
Our pet policy welcomes friendly companions with breed restrictions and weight limits that help maintain a safe, harmonious environment. Each approved pet requires a security deposit based on weight, plus a monthly pet rent per pet. We ask for updated vaccination records and leash etiquette for common areas. The walking areas, landscaping, and resident guidelines are designed to keep pets, owners, and neighbors comfortable, and our team can provide the latest restricted breed list and documentation requirements upon request.
Amenities and Community
Live Oak is built around simple, garden‑style living with thoughtful amenities. You’ll find on‑site laundry facilities, 24‑hour maintenance, and an on‑site property manager focused on prompt service. Our single‑story buildings foster a calm, neighborly vibe, while the easy freeway access keeps you connected to campus, hospitals, and shopping clusters like Meridia Square and Village at Fletcher. The grounds are well‑kept, and pet‑friendly policies make it easy to share the space with your furry family.
How Do I Apply and Move In?
Applying is quick and clear through our online portal. Start your RentCafe application, attach ID and proof of income, and select a lease term. If you have questions, our team can review options, discuss credit requirements, and guide you through the approval process.
