Please contact the apartment management directly to address any discrepancies and seek coordination. If there's no room for negotiation and you don’t wish to break the contract, the best option is to sublet the apartment.

Question 47

Can I terminate my lease at any time after signing it in the U.S.?

Accepted Answer

In general, once a lease is signed, it is effective immediately, and neither party can terminate it prematurely during the lease period. U.S. law stipulates that if a tenant signs a long-term lease, they are responsible for the rent for the entire lease term, even if they move out. If a tenant has special circumstances requiring lease termination, they are usually expected to find a new tenant before moving out, but rent during the vacant period must still be paid by the current tenant. Therefore, it’s best to adhere to the lease to avoid complications, as forced termination can seriously affect credit records and may require paying an additional one or two months’ rent, which can be quite costly.

Question 48

What should I do if I want to rent a two-bedroom apartment but have no roommate?

Apartments in Boston are rented as whole units, and the apartment offers roommate-finding services. You can look for friends to share the rent or contact a rental consultant for assistance in finding a roommate.

Accepted Answer

There is no swimming pool available.

Question 51

What is a deposit?

Accepted Answer

A deposit is a fee set by individual apartments, usually refundable at the end of the lease if no violations occur during the rental period. International students might need to pay an additional deposit as they cannot provide a U.S. Social Security Number or a domestic guarantor, but it generally won’t exceed one month’s rent. Some apartments require the deposit to be paid at the time of signing the lease, while others may allow it at check-in.
