Frequently Asked Questions
What does the rent include?
The rent includes all utilities, internet, as well as living in a fully furnished apartment. It also includes the use of the building amenities, such as a gym, swimming pool, rooftop, and so on (if applicable).
Who can rent with property? I am not a student?
We are a purpose-built housing provider. We provide co-living housing both to students and young professionals. If you have concerns about whether you are eligible to apply, please contact our booking team by mail.
How does the rent payment work?
At the time of check-out, you are only required to make your deposit payment. Paying a deposit will secure your room. Your first rent payment is due upon your move-in. Let's say today is January 15 and you would like to book a room from March 1 to September 31. Today, you will need to pay the deposit amount to hold your room. 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.
What is the verification process?
After the booking submission, you will be asked to follow the instructions to verify your identity and proof of study/work. We want to make sure we only accept people who are verified to be a good fit for our co-living community.
How can I visit the room before booking?
On our website, you will find a link where you can book a tour. This can be virtual or in person.
What is required for booking?
To book you will need to complete the verification process by uploading a photo ID, proof of study, proof of address, ID proof of guarantor, and then pay the deposit listed in the booking process. If you are a student, we 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 we can accommodate your inquiry.
