Question 1

Is the apartment furnished?

Accepted Answer

The apartment is furnished with a bed, desk, chairs, and a sofa. Please refer to the amenities list on the property detail page.

Question 2

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

Accepted Answer

In fact, student apartments charge based on your actual lease term (e.g., 11.5 months) and divide this amount into 12 installments for simplicity in calculation and management. In this case, both the lease agreement and website descriptions typically refer to it as a 12 month installment, meaning payment is split over 12 months. To simplify management, apartments usually collect the rent on the 1st of each month or in advance. Late payments may incur a late fee, which can be found in the lease agreement.

Question 3

Can I rent alone without a roommate?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the apartment offers individual leases. An individual lease means each person is responsible for their own bedroom and part of the shared spaces. If you do not have a roommate, the apartment will try to match you with another based on your preferences (please note that due to anti-discrimination regulations, specifying nationality for roommate matching is not allowed). If you have found a roommate on your own, you can mention it, and the apartment will do its best to accommodate you together, but it cannot guarantee that everyone will be placed in the same unit due to the nature of individual leases in US student apartments.

Question 4

Can I move in early?

Accepted Answer

In the US, apartments typically do not allow early move-ins because the previous tenant has not yet vacated, or the apartment needs to be cleaned after the last tenant moves out.

Question 5

Is the room carpeted or floored?

Accepted Answer

The room has carpet while other areas have hardwood flooring.

Question 6

Does the apartment have a washer and dryer?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the apartment has these amenities.

Question 7

What payment methods are available for rent?

Accepted Answer

Rent can be paid online using a Visa or MasterCard.

Question 8

Does the apartment have air conditioning?

Accepted Answer

Yes, there is air conditioning in the apartment.

Question 9

Does the apartment have an elevator?

Accepted Answer

Yes, there is an elevator in the apartment.

Question 10

Can I choose the orientation of my room?

Accepted Answer

In the US, there are typically no orientation specifications, but you can indicate a preference for brighter rooms when applying. The apartment will try to accommodate this request, but cannot guarantee it 100%.

Question 11

Does the apartment have parking?

Accepted Answer

Yes, there is parking available for $150 per month (the above fees are for reference only, actual amounts are subject to the apartment contract).

Question 12

Is there heating in the apartment?

Accepted Answer

The apartment has air conditioning.

Question 13

What is the application fee for the apartment?

Accepted Answer

The application fee is charged by the apartment for reviewing the applicant's materials. This fee must be paid by anyone applying for the apartment. Note: The application fee is non-refundable regardless of the outcome of the application. The apartment will only process the application after receiving this fee.

Question 14

What is renter's insurance and why should I get it?

Accepted Answer

US apartments typically require tenants to purchase renter's insurance (Renter Insurance). Most policies can be paid monthly or annually, and renter's insurance is relatively inexpensive at about $12 per month on average. The coverage amount varies depending on your coverage choices, location, and selected options; it helps to prevent loss of property and reduces your liability in case of disputes.

Question 15

Will the apartment accept my packages before I check in?

Accepted Answer

No, the apartment requires that you must check in personally before they can accept any packages for you.

Question 16

What time can I check in after I arrive? How do I do it?

Accepted Answer

Generally, check-in can only be completed during the apartment’s office hours. If you need to check in early or late, you should contact the apartment in advance to comply with their requirements. Typically, apartments in the US do not allow check-ins before the lease start date. Required documents for check-in include: passport, electronic version of the lease agreement, electronic version of renter's insurance, etc.

Question 17

What do I need to do if I want to move out?

Accepted Answer

You cannot terminate your lease early before the end of your lease term. You may sublease your room. At the end of the lease, you need to remove your personal belongings, clean the room, and return the keys and elevator card to the apartment.
