Generally speaking, once the lease is signed, it will take effect immediately, and neither party can terminate the contract in advance. Relevant laws in the United States stipulate that if the tenant signs a long-term lease, he must bear the rent for the entire lease period. Even if he cannot move out, the landlord still has the right to require the tenant to pay all the rent. If the tenant does have special circumstances and must withdraw the lease, in most cases, the landlord will require the current tenant to find the next tenant as soon as possible before moving out, but the rent during the vacant period must be paid by the current tenant. Customers make payments until the expiration date. Therefore, in order to avoid trouble, it is best to follow the lease agreement, because there is a close relationship between everyone's rent payment record and credit record. If you cancel the lease by force, it is likely to seriously affect your credit record, and You also have to pay one to two months more rent, which is a big loss.

Single House usually refers to a single-family house, which is a "villa" in China, usually with multiple rooms, multiple toilets (the number of toilets is generally less than the number of rooms), garages, and independent lawns and yards.

According to the school's local house-hunting habits, market supply, and individual needs, the time for each school to start house-hunting varies. And the start time is different for new students and current students. For freshmen, everyone usually starts to pay attention to renting a house after they get the school admission letter or decide to study in the local area, usually in April and May. We suggest that students formally apply for and sign an apartment after receiving the I20 form. There are also a large number of freshmen who will come to the United States in advance and decide to sign after seeing the apartment locally. Old students, that is, the time for finding a house for school students is more scattered. Old students in some schools usually start to sign a house for the next academic year in the first semester (fall), but most of the old students usually start looking for houses in the spring semester.

•Application Fee: A one-time fee, which needs to be paid when the apartment is applied, regardless of whether the application is successful or not, usually ranging from 20-100 US dollars. Apartments sometimes offer waived application fees to lure signings. • Deposit (Deposit/Security Deposit): The amount varies from apartment to apartment. If the tenant does not violate the apartment regulations during the lease period, the deposit will be refunded after the end of the lease. International students may need to pay an additional deposit because they cannot provide a US Social Security Number (SSN) or a US domestic guarantor, but the amount generally will not exceed one month's rent. For some apartments, the deposit needs to be paid at the signing of the lease, while others allow it to be paid at check-in. • Apartment management fee (Management fee/Admin fee/Activity fee): It is also a one-time fee and cannot be refunded. Similar to domestic community management fees, responsible for the maintenance of public facilities in the entire apartment, etc. Therefore, if students pay the apartment management fee, they must use the apartment facilities and enjoy the convenience of the apartment. Many apartments will also waive this part of the fee. •Parking: Apartments in many cities provide free parking spaces, but some apartments near schools require additional fees. Generally, parking fees are paid on a monthly basis, and the amount depends on the specific situation of the apartment. • Pet deposit (Pet Deposit): Some apartments that allow pets require residents to pay an additional pet deposit (one-time deposit payment). Pet deposits are sometimes refundable and some are not (depending on condo rules). The pet deposit is mainly used to prevent pets from damaging the apartment facilities. • Pet Rent (Pet Rent): Some apartments that allow pets will also require residents to pay an additional part of the monthly rent. *Please note: Under normal circumstances, the apartment will not accept cash. Check or money order is the most common way to pay the apartment.

Yes, we encourage students to decide to sign a contract after visiting the apartment in person, so that they can have a more direct experience of the apartment. But I have to admit that quite a few students hope that they can move in directly after they come to the United States. At the same time, the closer the school starts, the higher the housing prices and the fewer good houses. Therefore, students, please decide the signing time according to your actual situation.

It is suggested that you can first ask other neighbors if they have the same complaints, and communicate with them in a friendly manner. If the effect is not good, you can respond appropriately to the apartment manager or the landlord. If the situation is still bad, you can finally call the police.

When you leave the lease, you need to basically restore the apartment to the way you checked in, that is, clean the apartment, leave no personal items or garbage, and leave all the facilities in the apartment in good condition, etc. You need to fill out the Move-out checklist, and check with the apartment staff one by one whether the required cleaning is up to standard to ensure that the deposit can be fully refunded. Don't forget to leave the correct check payable and mailing address to the apartment. Checks for deposit refunds are usually received within one month.

Regardless of any comments, please respond directly to the apartment with your voice. We strongly encourage residents to communicate directly with the apartment management staff instead of complaining without solving the problem.

Generally, the apartment does not provide airport pick-up service. The general transportation options are shuttle or taxi, and foreign countries provide airport pick-up and drop-off services. Just consult a consultant on the foreign land platform

The management office of the apartment will have specified office hours, so if it exceeds office hours on the same day, it will have to wait until the next day. Some apartments do not work on weekends, so students should arrange air tickets and itinerary reasonably according to the office hours of the apartment. After all, the apartment is not a hotel, if you arrive after the office hours of the day, please contact the temporary accommodation in advance.

Students are requested to directly contact the apartment management office to raise any unmet expectations and coordinate with the apartment. If there is no room for delay and you don't want to break the contract, the best way is to sublet the house to others. We strongly discourage moving out of an apartment without communication. Because in the United States, once the contract is signed, the contract becomes effective. If you do not move in or move out directly, it is equivalent to unilaterally breaking the contract and you will bear high liquidated damages.

After getting the keys or signing the contract, you must carefully check the house with the landlord or the staff of the community. This point must be clearly indicated when signing the contract, and the landlord or community is responsible for repairing any problems found during check-in. The apartment usually has a dedicated staff member who will accompany you to inspect the apartment. They will provide a checklist (Checklist), which accurately describes each room area, the electrical appliances involved, etc. All you need to do is to work with the staff Check a series of things involved in the form one by one, and finally notify the property maintenance if there is any problem, and sign the form if there is no problem. After completing the inspection, the brand new house is yours. If it’s a private house, it’s okay, basic furniture is available, all you need to do is to buy some bedding, replace some new sheets and bathroom supplies, etc. It’s very convenient. And if it is an apartment, many new houses just moved in do not have any furniture, you need to buy it separately.

In terms of water, electricity (gas), the community will generally provide you with specific payment methods for water and electricity. There are also some communities that require you to register an account and pay online or in business halls. As for the network, it should be determined according to your actual location. You can use Google to check which network provider is more stable in your location, or you can ask your friends.
