Lease Details

All leases at Aspire San Marcos begin on August 1st and end on July 15th. At this time, Aspire San Marcos does not offer short-term leases.

Your contract is based on a total amount for the lease term that is divided into 12 equal installments for convenience. Your first installment will be due before picking up your keys move in day and the last on July 1st unless you choose to renew and stay at Aspire San Marcos for another year. Due to this, July rent is not prorated.

Rent is due on the 1st of the month and late on the 4th of the month. You will begin receiving late fees on the 4th of the month.

Although we don’t want to see you go, Aspire San Marcos offers a relet process that allows you to find a replacement resident to take over the remainder of your lease contract. Once the new lessee is fully approved, your agreement will be terminated with a relet fee. See our Reletting Information page for more details.

Rentistry is a convenient and highly effective way to build your credit simply by paying your rent on time. You will be charged 6.95 per month with your monthly charges. Rentistry can improve your credit score and financial wellness throughout your time at Aspire. You may also unenroll at any time by going to Rent Finder.

At Aspire San Marcos, you will be auto-enrolled in the Liability Program unless you provide and meet the requirements for personal Renter’s Insurance. The Liability Program is only 13.95 per month.

If you choose to provide your own renter’s insurance, you must have at least 100,000 in personal liability coverage and upload your Declaration Page to Foxen.com for verification.

Our partner, WeDoTrash, will pick up your trash every night. Here’s how it works. You will set your provided trash can outside of your day as early as 5:00 PM. Your trash must be bagged and tied to be picked up. All boxes must be broken down. Trash cans need to be brought back into your unit by 9:00 AM. We also have trash chutes available on each floor if you have additional bags of trash.

Aspire’s maintenance team is here to help! If you have any maintenance concerns you may enter a request through your Resident Portal. We have also partnered with Happy Force who will immediately reach out to you for more troubleshooting and details on the maintenance request.

We also offer roommate mediation to help everyone come to a mutual understanding and maintain a positive living environment.

Yes, apartment transfers are possible based on availability. If we have another unit open that meets your needs, we’ll be happy to assist with the transfer process. Please note that a 400 transfer fee applies.

You will receive a red key fob upon picking up your keys. This will be used throughout the community including the elevators, common areas, and your unit. Simply place the fob on the reader and wait for the light to turn green.

University Resources

Due to our location just steps from Texas State, we are not on a campus bus route. If your classes are located further than you wish to walk, we are conveniently located across the street from Texas State’s Shuttle Route 14 (Campus Loop). Shuttles leave every 10 minutes from Wood St at The Arch.

Aspire San Marcos does not provide meal plans for the residents. Each resident has a fully equipped kitchen, allowing them to make some of their favorite dishes anytime. We are also steps away from various dining options such as Chipotle, Taco Bell, Italian Garden, and much more!

Parking

Yes, we offer Reserved Parking in a gated 4-story garage for 150 per month. Parking does fill up each year so we have partnered with the Premium Parking lot located on the corner of N. Guadalupe and E. Hutchinson St to offer additional parking for 90 plus tax per month.

We have a limited number of guest spaces located in the garage off N. LBJ along with 2-hour city parking around Aspire building.

Yes, we will tow vehicles at the owner’s expense if they are not parking in the correct Reserved Parking space or are illegally parked.

We have 4 EV charging stations located in the garage for our residents to use. The cost is 0.13 per kWh.

No, the Target parking is for Target patrons only. You or your guests will be towed if you are not in Target.

Parent/Guarantor

Just like your student, you have access to your own Resident Portal. Sign in using the Guarantor’s email and password set up during the application process. Go to payments, select Pay Now, add New Payment Method or select an existing payment method, Submit Payment. You can also set up auto-payments from this section.

You can pay your rent installments early or in full. Please be advised a credit will sit on the resident’s account and the installments will be pulled out each month. Remember to include any additional monthly fees such as parking, pets, or storage. Utilities will vary based on usage; we recommend adding an additional amount to cover this cost or you will have a balance at the end of the lease term.

Aspire San Marcos access is limited to residents with a fob. The fob is required to enter the building, use the elevator, and enter their unit. We are only able to give primary leaseholders a fob to their apartments. Your student will need to accompany all guests while in the building.

The Aspire Management team is here to support you and your student. If they are experiencing challenges with their roommate, we’re happy to listen and help guide the conversation toward a peaceful resolution.
