Question 44

Can I check in on the same day if my flight arrives at school in the evening?

Accepted Answer

The apartment management office has set working hours, so if you arrive outside of office hours, you will need to wait until the next day to check in. Some apartments do not operate on weekends, so plan your flights and travel accordingly. Remember that an apartment is not a hotel, and if you arrive after office hours, arrange temporary accommodation in advance.

Question 45

What should I do if the apartment I booked does not meet my expectations upon arrival?

Accepted Answer

It is advisable to contact the apartment management directly to discuss the issues that do not meet your expectations and coordinate with them. If there is no room for adjustment and you wish to avoid breaching the contract, the best approach is to sublet the apartment to someone else. We strongly discourage moving out without communication, as signing a contract means it is legally binding. If you do not occupy it or move out, it's regarded as a unilateral breach of contract, which could result in significant penalties.

Question 46

Will the apartment accept my packages before I check in?

Accepted Answer

No, the apartment requires that you can only accept packages after you have checked in personally.

Question 47

Can I terminate the lease at any time after signing it in the US?

Accepted Answer

Generally, once a lease is signed, it takes immediate effect, and neither party can terminate it early. US law stipulates that if a tenant signs a long-term lease, they must pay rent for the entire term, even if they move out. If a tenant truly needs to break the lease for special circumstances, landlords usually require them to find a replacement tenant before moving out. However, the current tenant is still responsible for rent during the vacancy until the lease expires. Therefore, it's best to comply with the lease to avoid complications and protect your credit record, as forcing a lease termination could severely impact your credit and also require paying extra rent for one to two months.

Question 48

What should I do if I want to rent a two-bedroom apartment but don't have a roommate?

Accepted Answer

Apartments in Boston are usually rented as a whole. The apartments offer roommate-finding services, and students can consider inviting friends to share a rental or contact rental consultants for help in finding roommates.

Question 49

Can I create a partition in the living room?

Accepted Answer

You can, but you must not damage the apartment's walls. You can use screens, cabinets, or other means to partition without harming the walls.

Question 50

Is there a swimming pool in the apartment?

Accepted Answer

Yes, there is.

Question 51

What is a security deposit?

Accepted Answer

A security deposit is an amount set by each apartment, which will be refunded at the end of the lease if the tenant does not violate apartment rules during the rental period. International students may be required to pay an additional deposit due to the inability to provide a U.S. Social Security Number (SSN) or a domestic guarantor, but the amount generally does not exceed one month’s rent. Some apartments require the deposit to be paid at the time of signing the lease, while others allow it to be paid upon move-in.
