FAQ | Rambler Riverfront | Purdue Off Campus Apartments

An individual lease is a per-bed lease. You sign a lease for a bed space in the apartment and share common areas with roommates. This means you are only responsible for your own installments. This allows you to live with roommates without having to worry about whether they’re going to pay on time.

All leases at Rambler begin on August 12th, 2027 and end on July 31, 2028. We do not offer shorter lease terms.

All leases are 12-month installments beginning on August 12th, 2027 and ending on July 31st, 2028. If you need to get out of your lease early, you can relet your unit by finding somebody to take over the remainder of your lease. Please contact the Rambler team to discuss in detail.

Yes, you can switch floor plans as long as we have the space available. Your rate is subject to change depending on the floor plan you choose. You will be required to sign a new lease to secure the new floor plan. If you have a guarantor, they will not need to sign the new lease, but they will be notified of the changes. The guarantor will also have to sign the Future Lease Amendment Addendum.

We do not offer double occupancy in the building due to approved occupancy for the building.

You will be automatically enrolled in Rambler’s liability waiver program and charged a fee of $15/month, which only protects Rambler’s property. To protect your personal property, you can opt out by providing proof of third-party renter’s insurance with a minimum of $100,000 of liability coverage. For more information, read our article on the difference between renter’s insurance vs. liability waiver programs.

Move-in day will be on August 12, 2027. The exact time will be outlined in your lease. The Rambler Riverfront team will reach out regarding possible early move-in scheduling as construction nears completion.

Your contract is based on a total amount that is divided into 12 equal installments for convenience. Your first installment will be due August 1 and the last on July 1 unless you choose to renew and stay at Rambler Riverfront for another year. Because of this, August rent is not prorated.

Your installment includes:

• Premium Wi-Fi internet
• Fully furnished units (in West Building only)
• Full-size washer & dryer
• Smart TV in living room
• Plus, access to Rambler’s on-site amenities and attentive maintenance team.

Installments are due by the first of each month. You can pay through your resident portal with a debit/credit card or an e-check. Alternatively, you can also mail a physical check or money order to the leasing office.

The following items are not included in your installment:

• Rental insurance – Rental insurance is required for all residents at Rambler. To protect your personal property, you can opt out of the liability waiver by providing proof of coverage by a third-party renter’s insurance.
• Utilities (electricity and water) – Electricity and water are sub-metered and will be billed monthly.
• Trash fee – $5/month

They are fully separate buildings.

Yes, the West Building is considered the main building as it will have our main lobby, Daydreamer Cafe, leasing office, and main amenities.

As the main building, the West Building is home to our largest lobby and the heart of our shared common spaces, including the leasing office, the Daydreamer coffee shop, and the club lounge. 

However, you’ll have access to top-tier amenities no matter which building you’re in.

At Rambler, we encourage residents to personalize their space, including wall art and other decor, to make it feel like home. We just ask that any holes made in the walls are no larger than a dime. Residents are responsible for spackling and painting over any holes upon move-out, and failure to do so may result in charges.

Yes, each floor has a trash chute, and we provide a trash tote for larger items like boxes. We ask that all boxes be broken down before disposal.

The pool deck is open from sunrise to sunset and all other amenities are accessible 24/7.

Our access control system and door hardware are powered by Salto, providing both building and unit access. We will give residents access to a digital key, but you can also request a back-up fob. There will be hard keys for bedroom locks and mailboxes.
