How long is the typical lease term for an apartment? What is a sublet listing?

Accepted Answer

The houses on the market are basically long-term leases starting from 12 months. This is a hard-and-fast rule of the apartment and is generally not reconcilable. In addition, because most houses are unfurnished, they are not suitable for short-term rentals. Because of the inflexibility of the lease term, there are a lot of sublease listings on the market, commonly known as sublease. But when looking for this kind of housing, you need to pay attention to the legality of subletting. Many people act as second landlords, but they have no respect for the tenants. Benefits cannot be guaranteed. Because the apartment only recognizes the right of residence of the person on the contract.

I heard that the living room of the apartment can accommodate people? Can it be partitioned?

Accepted Answer

Many brand new apartment buildings have large interiors and living rooms in good condition. However, due to the high rent, the living room will also be rented out to a tenant to share the cost of the room. Choosing to live in the living room is a very cost-effective choice. The living room often has large floor-to-ceiling windows, good lighting, large area, and low price. uhomes also has a cooperative partition company, which can provide students with wall-mounting services in the living room if the apartment allows. Due to the safety requirements of the apartment, this kind of wall often cannot reach the top, and a space of about 30 cm needs to be left. But it can be supplemented with bookcases, curtains, closets and other decorations, and doors can also be made for easy access. The cost of the partition is generally around $1000-$1600, depending on the requirements of the wall, the price starts at about $800. However, some apartments on the market require that such partitions cannot be made. In this case, there is no need to worry.

Accepted Answer

Question 30

Why do I need to buy a guarantee to book an apartment in New York? What is a guarantee?

Accepted Answer

In New York, because we are international students. Therefore, more formal apartment developers generally provide two ways to pay rent: one is a guaranteed monthly payment, and the other is a one-time payment of one year&#x27;s rent. Due to the change of New York State law in July 2019, more than 90% of the apartments currently on the market only accept the form of guaranteed monthly payment. There are also a small number of apartments that accept prepayment. Please consult your advisor for details. In this way, we are forced to find a guarantee company to guarantee for us, so that we can pass the audit of the apartment and finally sign a satisfactory house. uhomes can provide you with a guarantee company and assist you in completing the guarantee process. However, the services of the guarantee company are not gratuitous. They usually need to charge one month&#x27;s rent equivalent as a guarantee service fee, and only need to pay once. The specific payment amount is subject to the certificate issued by the guarantee company.

Question 31

Why are the prices of New York apartments divided into pre-discount (Gross) and post-discount (Net)?

Accepted Answer

Apartments in New York/Jersey are known for their high rents, but apartments also offer discounts based on market conditions. This discount is generally a rent-free discount. For example, the rent of apartment A is $3000/month, but the apartment offers a discount of 1 month for 12 months. This means you don&#x27;t have to pay rent for one month out of 12. In this case, we call $3000 the Gross price, and the actual paid rent ($3000*11/12=$2750) after the discount is called the Net price. When listing prices, apartments often advertise discounted Net rates. If you pay the rent for one year in advance, then the rent is $3000*11 = $2750*12, and the total amount of rent paid is $33000, which remains unchanged.

Question 32

Is the price of booking with you the same as that of contacting the apartment myself? Is your price
