Question 1

Does the apartment come furnished?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Each bedroom will have a bed, desk, and chair. The living room is furnished with a comfortable sofa, chairs, and a coffee table. The kitchen is equipped with energy-efficient appliances, including a refrigerator, dishwasher, oven, washer, and dryer.

Question 2

Can I rent as an individual without a roommate?

Accepted Answer

Sure, the apartments offer individual leases. An individual lease means each person is only responsible for their own bedroom and some shared areas, unlike many apartments or rental homes with joint leases. If your roommate transfers to another school or moves to a different apartment for any reason, you won't have to worry about covering their portion of the rent. If you have no roommate, the apartment will automatically assign one, and you will need to fill out a roommate matching form. If you have special requests, make sure to inform the application staff in advance to help note it for the apartment. They will prioritize matching based on your requests, although there's no guarantee of finding a perfectly compatible roommate.

Question 3

What are the differences between Studio and 1B1B?

Accepted Answer

Studio and 1B1B are similar in layout but differ mainly in the presence of a living room; Studio is generally cheaper than 1B1B. Studio includes a bathroom and a kitchen but does not have a separate partition between the kitchen, living room, and bedroom. In contrast, 1B1B has one bedroom, one living room, one kitchen, and one bathroom in a standard layout.

Question 4

Can I check in early?

Accepted Answer

Generally, early check-in is not allowed as the apartment needs to arrange for a thorough cleaning after the previous students move out.

Question 5

What does the rent include?

Accepted Answer

The rent includes water, electricity, internet fees, trash collection, gas, sewage treatment, and cable channel fees.

Question 6

Does the apartment have an elevator?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the apartment has elevators.

Question 7

Is there parking available at the apartment?

Accepted Answer

Yes, outdoor parking is $30/month, and covered parking is $60/month.

Question 8

What are the payment methods for rent?

Accepted Answer

The apartment does not accept cash; you can choose to pay by check, money order, or online payment.

Question 9

What is the amount for the security deposit?

Accepted Answer

The security deposit for the apartment is $250.

Question 10

Why am I paying rent for 12 months when my lease is only for 11.5 months?

Accepted Answer

Student apartments actually charge based on your actual lease period (e.g., 11.5 months) and, for convenience in calculation and management, the total is divided into 12 installments for monthly payment. In this case, neither the lease nor the website generally describes it as 'rents,' but rather as '12 month installments.' For ease of management, rent is typically due on the 1st of each month or paid in advance. Late payments may incur fees as detailed in the contract.

Question 11

Can I choose the direction of my room?

Accepted Answer

In the U.S., orientation isn't usually emphasized. However, you can note your preference for a well-lit room during application; the apartment will typically prioritize this if enough rooms are available, but there's no guarantee that your request will be fully met.

Question 12

What should I bring to the apartment?

Accepted Answer

The apartment suggests bringing: bedding, personal supplies, kitchenware (including pots, pans, and dishes), and personal items.

Question 13

What should I do if my bedroom or the apartment needs maintenance?

Accepted Answer

If maintenance is needed, simply log into the resident portal on the apartment website and submit a maintenance request. You can also call or visit the front desk. In case of emergencies, please notify the front desk immediately or call 911.

Question 14

Are pets allowed in the apartment?

Accepted Answer

Pets are not allowed in the apartment.

Question 15

What is the apartment application fee?

Accepted Answer

The apartment application fee is charged by the apartment to review applicant materials. It is a fee that each applicant must pay; please note: this fee is non-refundable regardless of whether the application is accepted or rejected. The apartment will only process applications officially after the fee is submitted.

Question 16

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

Accepted Answer

Most students have little experience with insurance before arriving in the U.S., but once here, dealing with insurance becomes unavoidable: car insurance is required, health insurance is necessary, and many apartments will require renters to purchase renter's insurance, depending on their policies. Most insurance can be paid monthly or annually, and renter's insurance is relatively inexpensive, averaging about $15 per month. The amount of coverage can vary based on the coverage amount, location, and selected items; it helps prevent asset loss and reduces personal liability in case of disputes.

Question 17

Will the apartment accept my packages? Can they be collected before check-in?

Accepted Answer

Generally, the apartment will accept packages only after the effective date of the lease.

Question 18

What time can I check in when I arrive? How do I check in?

Accepted Answer

Check-in is generally only available during the apartment's business hours. Early or late check-ins must be arranged with the apartment in advance, in accordance with their requirements. Typically, student apartments do not allow check-ins before the lease start date. Bring your identification, an electronic version of the rental agreement, and the electronic version of your renter's insurance when checking in.

Question 19

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

Accepted Answer

If you do not plan to renew your lease and need to move out, you typically need to inform the apartment 60 to 90 days in advance. If you do not notify them, the apartment may automatically renew the lease, as specified in the contract.
