How does the rent payment work?

At the time of check-out, you are only required to make your deposit and service fee payment. Paying a deposit will secure your room. Your first rent payment is due upon your move-in.

If you are a student, they require proof of study instead of proof of work. This full process can be completed online. What is proof of guarantor? It is proof that you have a guarantor agreeing to secure or 'guarantee' tenancy agreement/contract. A guarantor can be an individual (parent, spouse, relative, etc.) who promises to pay a tenant’s debt in the case the payment has not been transferred for a reason.

You can only select the beginning and end of the month as a move-in date. How do my friend and I rent an apartment together? Bookings are done individually, but you may request to live in the same apartment with your friend. They do their best to make this happen but it is based on availability. Can I meet my roommates before moving in? In most circumstances, your exact room is assigned the day you move in. Their housing coordinators will introduce you to your roommates when you move in.
