The most typical student apartment lease period is generally 12 months, starting in August or September and ending in July or August of the following year.
A small number of apartments offer semester leases (5 months or 6 months), 10-month leases (end at the end of May of the following year), or leases that end in July and August (no limit on the start time).

Question 2

Before deciding to sign the contract, can I come to Aurora CO to see the apartment?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we encourage students to see the apartment in person before deciding to sign the contract, so that they can have a more direct feeling about the apartment. However, we must admit that many students want to move in as soon as they arrive in the United States, and the closer the school start is, the higher the price and the fewer good apartments available. Therefore, students should decide when to sign a contract according to their actual situation.

Question 3

If I want to study abroad in Aurora CO, when should I start looking for a house?

Accepted Answer

Starting from January, if you see a suitable house during this period, you should apply as soon as possible; if you don’t find a suitable house, you can wait. But if it&#x27;s May or June, do it as soon as possible. The longer you delay, the fewer cost-effective options available. After August, there are few housing options available.

Question 6

Generally speaking, once the lease is signed, it will take effect immediately, and neither party to the lease can terminate the contract in advance. According to the relevant laws of the United States, if the tenant has signed a long-term lease, he/she shall bear the rent for the whole lease term. Even if he/she is forced to move out, the landlord still has the right to require the tenant to pay all the rent.

Question 7

What factors should you consider before renting in Aurora CO?

Accepted Answer

Before renting a house in Aurora CO, you must first understand your own accommodation needs, including the rental area, the distance and time to and from school, the budget cost, whether to share the rent, etc.
After deciding on the needs, it is recommended that students take some time to study the safety of the selected area. You can log on to the relevant local website to check the safety of the area. If it is an area with a high crime rate, it is best not to choose to live in it.
When looking at the house, pay attention to whether the living facilities around the community are complete, such as supermarkets, convenience stores, hospitals, pharmacies, restaurants, banks, etc.;
Also pay attention to what the landlord provides, whether it can meet your daily needs, and what else to buy. If you plan to find a roommate to rent together, you must discuss these issues with your roommate in advance to avoid conflicts in the future.

Question 11

I have booked an apartment. Can I check in directly after arriving in Aurora CO?

Accepted Answer

Each apartment has its own clear check-in time. If you arrive in the United States after the official check-in time of the apartment, of course you can check in directly after going through the check-in procedures. However, if you arrive before the official check-in time stipulated by the apartment, you should: 1) Communicate with the apartment in time when applying for the apartment to see if there is the possibility of early check-in and tell the apartment your ideal check-in time; 2) If the apartment cannot provide early check-in, you need to find temporary accommodation by yourself, such as hotels, daily rental houses, or ask for help from early students.

Question 12

I booked an apartment, but when I arrived, I found it did not meet my expectations, what should I do?

Accepted Answer

Students are requested to contact the apartment management office directly to report any dissatisfaction and discuss with the apartment party. If there is no room for renewal and you do not want to break the contract, the best way is to sublet the house to someone else. We strongly discourage moving out of an apartment without informing the parties involved. 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 incur high penalties.
