What Are the Monthly Fees at Paseo?

Recurring charges at Paseo fall into three categories: base rent, required monthly fees that make up your Total Monthly Leasing Price and usage-based utilities billed separately.

Total Monthly Leasing Price includes base rent plus all fixed, mandatory monthly fees. It excludes variable, usage-based utilities and required charges due at or prior to move-in or at move-out.

Base Rent

Base rent is the monthly charge for the apartment itself and varies based on the floor plan selected, view and availability. Base rent is one component of your Total Monthly Leasing Price. Rent is due on the first of each month.

Required Monthly Fees

(Included in Total Monthly Leasing Price)

Internet Fee

A flat $80 monthly fee ensures high-speed Wi-Fi throughout your unit and all shared community spaces.

Pest Control Fee

Paseo provides proactive pest control for $10/month to keep your space clean and comfortable.

Admin Fee

A $3/month admin fee supports billing, account services and general administrative needs.

Amenity Fee

A $150 amenity fee is applied monthly for both Signature and Elevated units, giving you access to Paseo’s top-tier amenities, from the pool deck to wellness spaces.

Gas and Boiler Fee

A $35 monthly fee will be applied for the gas system used throughout Paseo, covering your share of the energy that keeps the property running efficiently. A $16.45 monthly boiler fee will also be added, covering the cost of maintaining the central heating system that keeps you comfortable all year long.

Renter’s Insurance or Damage Waiver Program

Paseo residents are required to carry liability coverage of at least $100,000. You can meet this requirement in one of two ways:

• Provide proof of renter’s insurance. This must include a minimum of $100,000 in liability coverage. Many residents choose to purchase a renter’s insurance policy that also covers personal belongings, such as furniture, electronics and clothing.
• Opt into Paseo’s Damage Waiver Program. For $16/month, this option provides up to $100,000 in liability coverage for property damage caused by negligence.

Note: The Damage Waiver Program does not cover your personal belongings.

If enrolled in the property’s liability program, the monthly charge will be reflected in your Total Monthly Leasing Price.

Usage-Based Utilities

(Not Included in Total Monthly Leasing Price)

Utilities

At Paseo, electricity, water & sewage utilities are billed using a Ratio Utility Billing System (RUBS) and processed through Conservice. This means you pay only your share of the building’s utility costs based on factors like occupancy and square footage. Conservice is set up for you when you move in and you’ll receive an itemized bill via email before the 1st of each month. A $3 utility fee will be applied to each billing statement.

One-Time Fees You’ll Pay Before or At Move-In

Some one-time fees are due during the application process, while others are paid when you move in.

Application Fee

This $100 non-refundable fee per applicant covers background and credit checks as part of the approval process and is due at the time your application is submitted.

Administration Fee

This $250 non-refundable fee covers administrative costs, including billing setup, audits and overhead expenses. It is due at the time of your application submission.

Security Deposit

This refundable deposit, subject to lawful deductions, varies based on your floor plan and is to be paid upon move-in.

• Signature Unit: $1,000
• Elevated Unit: $1,500
• Penthouse Unit: $1,500

Optional Fees

(Not Included in Total Monthly Leasing Price Unless Selected)

Parking

If you’re planning to bring a vehicle, Paseo offers on-site parking passes. Unreserved parking is $150 per month, while reserved parking is $250 per month. Residents adding a second parking space may choose from standard reserved ($250) or premium reserved ($350) options. For residents who need access to an outlet, premium reserved parking is available for $350 per month and includes a designated space with an outlet. Please note that you’ll need to bring your own compatible charging cable if you have an electric vehicle. For our cyclists, bike storage is also available for $15 per month.
