Question 7

Why do I pay rent 12 times if my lease is only 11.5 months?

Accepted Answer

Student apartments charge based on your actual lease duration (for example, 11.5 months) and then divide this for accounting and management purposes into 12 monthly installments. In this case, both the apartment lease and website describe it generally not as rent, but as '12 month installment'. The apartment requires monthly rent to be paid on the 1st or in advance before the due date. Late payments may incur a late fee; please refer to the contract for details.

Question 8

Can I rent if I have no roommates?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the apartment offers individual leases. An individual lease means each person is responsible for their own bedroom and some shared common areas. If you do not have a roommate, the apartment will try to match you with others based on your preferences (please note that roommate matching cannot request a specific nationality due to anti-discrimination laws). If you have a preferred roommate, you can note that as well; the apartment will try to arrange for everyone to live together, but cannot guarantee 100% placement in the same unit.

Question 9

Can I move in early?

Accepted Answer

Apartments in the U.S. generally do not allow early move-ins due to the previous tenant not vacating or needing to clean after they have moved out.

The amount of insurance varies based on your coverage, location, and selected items; it helps to protect against property loss and reduces liability in case of disputes.

Question 22

What do I need to do when I move out?
