The first rent payment is due any time until March 1. You will need to pay your first rent to receive your apartment keys. In other words, the deposit secures your room, and the first rent brings you the keys.

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.

Why can’t I select the dates I want?

You can only select beginning and end of the month as a move-in date. If you have a specific move-in date in mind, you may contact by mail in case they can accommodate your inquiry.

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. Please contact their  booking team by mail.

What if my classes are canceled due to Covid-19?

Please see their cancellation policy, with a special Covid-19 update. Proof will be required for cancellation requests based on Covid-19. Additional fees might apply depending on how much notice is provided.

Will I lose my furniture deposit if my classes are canceled due to Covid-19?

Is the furniture deposit returned?

The deposit will be returned within 21 business days after the rooming agreement term stays, provided that the contractual obligations have been met and mandatory fees have been deducted.

Do I pay my rent month to month, or weekly?

Let's say you rented a room at a rate of $275/week, and your total duration of stay is 12-week. You will need to make payments in 3 installments of $1100/each.

What if I want to change my room type?

Room type changes are subject to availability and will involve an extra cleaning fee pending approval.
