What is Auto-Charge, and how does it work? Can I opt-out?

Auto-charge is a convenient option they offer to their tenants, which allows them to automatically deduct the monthly rent payment from your chosen payment method on the specified due date. By selecting this feature, you can ensure that your rent is paid on time without the need for manual payments or reminders. Here's how auto-charge works: Enrollment: When you go to make your first payment, there will be a checkbox allowing you to opt-in to their auto-charge feature. There you provide them with your preferred payment method, such as a credit card or bank account details. This will then authorize them to charge the rent amount on the specified due date each month. Payment Notification: Before processing the auto-charge, they will notify you in advance, usually a few days before the due date. This notification serves as a reminder and allows you to review the transaction details. Payment Processing: On the specified due date, they will automatically charge the rent amount from your authorized payment method. This ensures that your payment is made on time and helps you avoid late fees or missed payments. If you prefer not to be enrolled in the auto-charge feature moving forward, please let them know, and they will be more than happy to disable it for next month. You can contact their customer support team or reply to this email, and they will make the necessary arrangements to ensure your rent payments are handled according to your preference.

What happens to my mail once I leave?

They know there are a lot of moving parts when packing & preparing to move out, so here’s a helpful reminder with important info for changing your mailing address with USPS 7-10 days before move-out: Change Your Address and Other U.S. Post Office Service. *NOTE* The above site is an official theybsite of the US Government! There are lots of scam sites for the US Postal Service, Department of Motor Vehicles, etc., that try to make you think they’re official US Government sites, and then try to get you to pay for their services. 2 things to look for to tell if a site is an official US Government site: A site ending in “.gov” is an official US Government site (as opposed to “.com” or “.co” etc). All branches of the US Federal government use “.gov” as a domain name Look at the theyb address in the browser bar. An official US Government site will start with “https://” NOT “http://” (the S means it is a secure, encrypted site)

When/how will you refund my security deposit?

Security deposits are refunded within 15 days of departure from the Outpost Club premises. If you are a US citizen, they can only refund you by mailing you a check, please provide them with your new mailing address and they will send it to you. If you are international, they will refund you through the method of payment you used to make the security deposit payment. If you have since closed the account that you used to pay the security deposit, contact that bank, explain the situation, and they usually can temporarily re-open the account so you can receive and withdraw the funds. If you paid them your security deposit using Qira, the security deposit will be refunded to Qira.

How do I cancel my renters insurance after I move out?

If you would like to cancel your renter's insurance and/or get a refund for days/months if they're not using it, please contact SURE Insurance's underwriter, Assurant. Please note that if you are looking for a refund for more than 4 months of insurance payments, Assurant may require a notarized letter from them (the landlord) stating that you have moved out. If they require this of you, please let them know, and they can consider providing this. Please understand a notarized document costs money, and they may pass this cost along to you. Please understand if you used the link that Outpost Club provided to purchase renters insurance, you then have a policy with SURE Insurance. While you may have signed up for renters insurance to stay at our property, they are not the renters insurance provider. Your renter's insurance policy is an auto-renewing policy and covers you even as you move to new apartments (if you let SURE Insurance know that you moved). This is why you have been charged after your move-out: it is up to you to cancel your renter's insurance if you no longer want it.

What is Outpost Club?

Outpost Club is a network of coliving locations where you can rent a room throughout New York. Their goal is to make it super easy to move to New York and to provide interesting and convenient places for affordable prices. At Outpost Club, you get more than just a place to live and work. The Outpost Club platform creates a coliving community that offers both general and professional networking, which personally benefits all members.

What does Outpost Club Do?

Outpost Club provides end-to-end coliving services to creatives, tech startups, entrepreneurs, digital nomads, freelancers, remote workers, professionals, students, and anyone looking to move to a new city and meet new people. Coliving is a shared housing model, meaning members share kitchens, living rooms, and other common spaces with all members, and have a private or shared bedroom of their choice. Everything is included in our flat fee: utilities, WiFi, furniture, appliances, kitchen supplies, and anything else you would need upon moving into a new place. All you need to bring is your suitcase.

Why does Outpost Club do it?

Even though New York houses millions of people, many of them feel lonely from time to time. Despite this, at Outpost Club’s co-living locations, you’ll never come home to an empty house, and you will never feel alone.

What’s the history behind your company?

Outpost Club was created in 2016 by three guys who had to go through the process of trying to find housing in New York City as international renters. The credit checks, scams, real-estate agent commissions, buying furniture, setting up utilities, roommate cost-sharing, paying first month’s rent/last month's rent/security deposits. The whole thing sucks. So they created their process by eliminating all the bad parts and adding some good stuff too, like community! Since then, they’ve continued to add new locations in different cities and are excited to keep growing their community.
