Question 1

Does the apartment come with furniture?

Accepted Answer

The apartment comes with furniture such as beds, tables, chairs, and sofas; please refer to the facility details on the property listing for specifics.

Question 2

Why do I pay rent for 12 months if I only rent for 11.5 months?

Accepted Answer

The student apartment charges fees based on the actual rental period (for example, 11.5 months). For management and calculation ease, the total is divided into 12 installments, paid monthly. In such cases, this is generally referred to as a '12 month installment' instead of rent. Rent is due on the 1st of each month or paid in advance, and late payments may incur a late fee; please refer to the relevant terms in your contract for details.

Question 3

Can I rent alone if I don't have a roommate?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can rent individually. The apartment offers individual lease agreements, which means that each person is responsible for their own bedroom and some common areas. If you don't have a roommate, the apartment will try to match you based on your preferences (without considering nationality due to anti-discrimination laws). If you have a preferred roommate, you can note that in your application, and the apartment will do its best to accommodate everyone together, but personal leases mean it cannot guarantee that everyone will be assigned to the same unit.

Can I check in early?

What is renter's insurance and why do I need to buy it?

Accepted Answer

US apartments require tenants to purchase renter's insurance (Renter Insurance). Most insurance options can be paid monthly or annually, and the cost is quite low, averaging around $12 per month. The coverage amount will vary based on the insured amount, the location, and the specific options selected; it helps protect against property loss while also minimizing liability in case of disputes.

Question 16

Will the apartment accept packages for me before I check in?

Question 17

What time can I check in when I arrive in the area? How do I proceed?

Accepted Answer

Generally, check-in can only be completed during the apartment's business hours. If you need to check in early or late, you must contact the apartment in advance to make arrangements according to their requirements. Typically, you cannot check in before the lease start date in US apartments. Required documents for check-in include: passport, electronic version of the lease, and electronic version of the renter's insurance.

Question 18

What do I need to do if I want to vacate?

Accepted Answer

You cannot terminate your lease early before the end of the rental period. You may sublease your room, and when the rental period ends, you need to remove your personal items and clean the room, then return the keys and elevator access cards to the apartment.
