Question 1

Is the apartment furnished?

Accepted Answer

The apartment is furnished with beds, tables, chairs, sofas, and other furniture. For specific details, please refer to the amenities list on the property page.

Question 2

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

Accepted Answer

Student apartments charge fees based on your actual rental period (e.g., 11.5 months), and to facilitate calculation and management, this amount is evenly distributed into 12 installments, collected monthly. In this scenario, it is typically referred to as a 12 month installment rather than rent. For management ease, rent is usually due on the 1st of each month or in advance, and late payments may incur late fees. Please refer to the contract for details.

Question 3

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

Accepted Answer

Yes, the apartment provides individual leases. An individual lease means each person is only responsible for their bedroom and certain shared areas. If there are no roommates, the apartment will try to match based on your preferences (note that requests based on nationality are not allowed due to discrimination laws). If you already have a chosen roommate, you can mention it; the apartment will try to accommodate everyone together, but in American student apartments with individual leases, it's not guaranteed that everyone can be placed in the same unit.

Question 4

Can I move in early?

Accepted Answer

In the U.S., early move-ins are generally not allowed, as the previous tenant may not have moved out, or the apartment needs to be cleaned after the previous tenant leaves.

Question 5

Is the room carpeted or hardwood?

Accepted Answer

The room has carpeting.

Question 6

Does the apartment have a washer and dryer?

Accepted Answer

Yes, there are washer and dryer units available.

Question 7

What is the method of paying rent?

Accepted Answer

Rent can be paid online using either Visa or Mastercard.

Question 8

Does the apartment have air conditioning?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the apartment has air conditioning.

Question 9

Does the apartment have an elevator?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the apartment has an elevator.

Question 10

Can I choose the orientation of my room?

Accepted Answer

In the U.S., apartments generally do not emphasize orientations, but you can note your preference for a sunlit room when applying. The apartment will try to prioritize this if available, but they cannot guarantee satisfaction.

Question 11

Does the apartment have heating?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the apartment has heating.

Question 12

What is the application fee for the apartment?

Accepted Answer

The apartment application fee is charged by the apartment and is used for reviewing the applicant's materials. It is a mandatory fee that everyone must pay when applying for the apartment. Note: this fee is non-refundable regardless of the application outcome, and the apartment will only process the application after the fee has been submitted.

Question 13

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

Accepted Answer

U.S. apartments commonly require tenants to purchase renter's insurance. Most of these policies can be paid monthly or annually, and are relatively inexpensive, averaging around $12 per month. The amount of coverage can vary based on the insured value, location, and chosen options; it helps prevent property loss and reduces liability in case of disputes.

Question 14

Can the apartment accept my packages before I move in?

Accepted Answer

No, the apartment requires package pickups to only occur after the resident checks in.

Question 15

What time can I check in after arriving, and how do I do it?

Accepted Answer

Generally, check-ins can only be done during the apartment's working hours. Early or late check-ins must be communicated in advance to the apartment, based on their requirements. Typically, early move-ins before the lease start date are not permitted. Required documents for check-in include your passport, an electronic rental agreement, and an electronic proof of renter's insurance.

Question 16

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

Accepted Answer

You cannot terminate your lease early before the end of the rental period, but you may sublet your room. When moving out, you should take your personal belongings and clean the room, and return the keys and elevator card to the apartment.
