Which West Campus fees will I pay besides rent?
A $65 monthly amenity charge at Lark or Ion adds $780 across 12 payments, and that charge is already in their advertised room totals. Application fees, administration charges, utility billing, and insurance can add more; the useful question is which ones your quote already includes.

Which fees do West Campus buildings charge?
A charge may be paid once, each year, each term, or with every rent payment. The table counts directory listings that name a fee and give a positive dollar amount. The pages cover different lease years, so ask which fee schedule applies to your room.

| Charge | Listed amount and timing | Listings | What changes it |
|---|---|---|---|
| Application | $75 typicalone time | 21 | Any qualifying fee waiver needs written terms. |
| Administration | $150 typicalone time | 22 | Annual and monthly charges have their own payment timing. |
| Administration | $200 or $750annual | 2 | Lark’s listed price assumes an approved guarantor; Ion’s reduction has a deadline. |
| Trash | $10 typicalmonthly | 8 | Some totals already include it. |
| Damage waiver | $14 typicalmonthly | 6 | May be conditional or replaceable with an accepted policy. |
| Amenity | $65 typicalmonthly | 2 | Already included in Lark and Ion’s advertised room totals. |
Counts include listings with a positive stated amount. Required, conditional, and waivable charges can all appear.
These counts describe the listings we could find. Some charges have conditions, and the directory includes a co-op network as well as individual houses. The same household could also see several of these charges on one bill.
How do the conditions change what I pay?
Swipe or scroll sideways to compare every column.
| Building and charge | Listed amount | Condition |
|---|---|---|
| Lark · annual administration | $200 or $750 | The lower price needs an approved guarantor; otherwise $750. This is an annual charge. |
| Ion · annual administration | $750 or $200 | The reduction needs an approved guaranty within seven days; confirm when that clock starts. This is an annual charge. |
| Moontower · damage waiver | $14 per payment | Included in the advertised default total. Contract terms decide whether it applies and whether an outside policy can replace it. |
| Rambler · rent reporting | $9 per payment | Included by default, with an opt-out. It is separate from required trash and waivable risk mitigation. |
Rambler also lists a utility administration charge of $79 per term, on top of the monthly utility bill. At the two Union buildings, the listed utility billing administration charge is $6 per payment. Asking how often a fee repeats matters as much as asking its price.
Which fees might already be in the advertised total?
At Moontower, the published default total already includes the Green Fee, valet trash, Fetch, the credit program, and the damage waiver. The credit and waiver charges depend on the contract; adding them again would overstate that advertised total.
At Rambler, the default total includes trash, risk mitigation, and rent reporting. Qualifying outside insurance can replace risk mitigation, and rent reporting allows an opt-out. An outside policy has its own cost. At Lark and Ion, the amenity charge is included, while the required liability policy or waiver needs a quote.
A quote is easier to compare when it lists the recurring payment, fees due before move-in, refundable deposits, and optional choices. The housing comparison keeps those amounts apart; the lease guide explains the questions to ask before signing.
How we got this
We recalculated the saved West Campus fee pages on October 28, 2026. The directory has 79 West Campus listings. The ICC Austin network entry covers several houses and appears alongside individual co-op listings, so the count does not give a number of buildings. The download gives the dates, rooms, lease years, and conditions. A missing fee is unknown, rather than free. An advertised promotion does not remove the ordinary fee unless you qualify for it.
We grouped matching fee labels and counted each listing once within each group and payment frequency. We included building defaults and fees tied to particular rooms or terms. For typical prices, we used each different positive amount once per listing. “Typical” means the middle of those amounts. Annual administration shows the conditional prices instead of a typical price. Prices on this page are rounded to whole dollars. The download keeps the cents, zero-dollar application fees, billing charges, unknown amounts, and warnings about possible double counting.
