What are the total move-in costs at Exhibit On Superior?

Reviewed by Exhibit On Superior Leasing Team · Published · Updated

Answer

Budget for first month rent, the $95–$195/month Utility & Service Amenity fee, ComEd electricity, and internet. New-lease Zentro internet: $75/month studios/convertibles, $85/month one-bedrooms, $95/month two-/three-bedrooms. Existing leases: $75/month standard; documented service-cost price matching may reduce it, with a $45/month minimum. Zentro cannot be opted out of; move-ins on or after September 15, 2026 pay at move-in, and existing-resident billing begins December 1, 2026. One-time: $60/applicant application fee and $500/apartment administration fee; no security deposit. Optional parking $335/month; storage $25/month. Add renters insurance and pet fees.

Your move-in cost worksheet

Add these required items: $60 for each applicant, the $500 administration fee per apartment, first month rent for the selected home, its first Utility & Service Amenity fee, and Zentro internet under the applicable lease terms.

Effective September 15, 2026. Residents cannot opt out of Zentro internet or its applicable charge. Outside internet providers no longer have access to the building infrastructure because their contracts have expired. New residents who move in on or after September 15, 2026 begin paying for Zentro internet when they move in. Existing residents begin paying for Zentro internet on December 1, 2026.

Then account for variable items: the renters insurance policy you choose, ComEd electricity based on use, and a one-time pet fee if applicable. Garage parking and storage only enter the total if you add them.

A worked example of the one-time charges

For a single applicant, the one-time charges are the $60 application fee plus the $500 administration fee, totaling $560 before rent. A second adult on the lease adds another $60 application fee, since that fee is charged per applicant.

The administration fee is fully refunded if the property denies your application, but retained if you cancel. Because there is no security deposit, these fees plus first month rent make up the bulk of the cash needed at signing.

The recurring costs that follow

Budget for rent, the $95–$195/month Utility & Service Amenity fee, separately billed ComEd electricity, and internet. New-lease Zentro internet: $75/month studios/convertibles, $85/month one-bedrooms, $95/month two-/three-bedrooms. Existing leases: $75/month standard; documented service-cost price matching may reduce it, with a $45/month minimum. Zentro cannot be opted out of; move-ins on or after September 15, 2026 pay at move-in, and existing-resident billing begins December 1, 2026. Add renters insurance and any chosen parking or storage.

The Utility & Service Amenity fee covers water, sewer, trash, heat, air conditioning, and natural gas. It does not cover internet or electricity.

Electricity is the one utility billed individually by ComEd. Pet fees are one-time: $650 for one dog, $750 for two dogs, or $325 for cats, with no monthly pet rent. For an itemized quote on a specific home, contact the leasing office.

Illustrative new-lease monthly fee subtotals

Illustrative monthly fee subtotals using the internet schedule effective September 15, 2026; not a rent quote or a statement of when payment is due. Add current rent, ComEd electricity, renters insurance, and any chosen parking or storage. Existing leases use their applicable internet charge instead of these new-lease tiers.

1 Bedroom: $115 utility bundle + $85 Zentro internet = $200/month before rent, electricity, renters insurance, and optional add-ons.

2 Bedroom / 1 Bath: $125 utility bundle + $95 Zentro internet = $220/month before rent, electricity, renters insurance, and optional add-ons.

2 Bedroom / 2 Bath: $150 utility bundle + $95 Zentro internet = $245/month before rent, electricity, renters insurance, and optional add-ons.
