June Homes is not a co-living company. We offer studio, one-bedroom and multi bedroom apartment leases in major US cities. For larger (multi bedroom) apartments, we focus on groups of roommates. If you're an individual and don't have a roommate, don't worry - we will help you find potential roommates through June platform.

Your health and safety is of the utmost importance to June. In light of COVID-19, we continue to take the following precautions:

• Home tours are conducted virtually as often as possible, through quality video conferencing with a caring team member.

• Extra sanitization has been instituted in all shared homes, and quality professional cleaning strictly implemented before and after stays. Remote check-in and 24/7 virtual support is available via our app, phone and email.

• It is our policy that all new residents notify June if they are COVID-19 positive. To mitigate any spread, we advise positive residents to quarantine as per CDC guidelines .

Here’s what you’ll need in order to qualify as a resident, based on the city you want to live in.

Applications for homes in New York City, Boston, Washington DC, San Francisco, and Chicago must include:

• An above 650 credit score

Applications for homes in Los Angeles must include:

If you don’t meet the resident requirements to qualify for a home on your own, we have a few options for you:

• Apply for a home with a guarantor who will co-sign your lease. Refer to the next question; “What is a guarantor? ” to learn more about this option.

• Book a short term stay for under two months and enjoy a simplified approval process: no income or savings requirements and you will only be required to meet a certain credit score, determined by the city you want to live in.

A guarantor, usually a parent or guardian, is someone who meets certain financial requirements and will co-sign your lease in order to guarantee your rent will be paid. By co-signing, they commit to paying your rent during your lease if for any reason you can’t make the payments yourself. The financial requirements for guarantors vary from city to city.

Guarantors on applications for homes in New York City, Boston, Washington DC, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Chicago must provide:

If you can’t find anyone to act as a guarantor for you, we can help with that too. Enroll with our partner TheGuarantors and they will act as your guarantor by co-signing your lease for a fee, helping you qualify. Reach out to our Sales team for more information: @welcome@junehomes.com

Yes. Application credit score requirements only apply to individuals with credit history in the US. If you are an international resident, you or a guarantor must provide proof of financial status - such as bank statements or proof of funds in a trust - in your previous country of residence.

Documents in a foreign language are accepted, but a version translated in English may be requested. Please note: each application is assessed on a case-by-case basis but must generally meet the above terms.

Yes! Approved applicants can view up to two homes in person. And you can always view the bedroom layout and common areas of the home by taking a 3D tour on our website.

Yes. The minimum stay in any June home is 30 days (with the exception of Boston (31 days) in and Chicago (32 days).

After your 1 month minimum stay, you don’t have to strictly rent for months at a time. For example, you can rent flexibly for 1 month and 8 days, or 2 months and 10 days etc.

Our Month-To-Month Flexibility Policy allows you to cancel your contract with just 30-days notice. Please note that you can only move out on the last day of the month if that day is more than 30 days away when you give notice. For example, if you give your 30 day notice on the 15th of September, you will move out on the 31st of October. Please note further that June’s Month-to-Month arrangement has a 60-day minimum required stay.

The price for your Month-To-Month plan is fixed and does not change during your stay, but a $200 fee for a shared home or a $300 fee for an entire home will apply above the rental rate.

We're thrilled you'd like to stay with June longer! The price on your new lease will likely be up to 5% off the web price for your desired dates. Some differences might apply in select areas and we will always comply with all local rent regulations.

If you've already agreed to accept a priority offer *, then your extension price will be the rate of that offer.

• A priority offer is made to you from June at any point during your stay, if someone applies to be the next resident of your room. You have the option to extend immediately, signing to stay for at least as long as the applicant and at their price.

The only time you would not be able to extend your stay is if we have not heard back after the issued priority offer & a new resident secured the space.

Plans change, we get it. If you need to move out earlier than the dates of your agreement (or the date you already told us you are moving out) and the remainder of your stay is under 6 months, we require a 30-day notice, and we will keep the security deposit as a termination fee. If the remainder of your stay is more than 6 months, we require a 60-day notice, and we will keep your security deposit as a termination fee.

Alternatively, you can move to any other June home for a relocation fee of $200, provided that the rent you will be paying in your new home is equal to or greater than the rent you are currently paying. Terminations are not allowed between the months of October - June

All this is subject to applicable law

You were here first. If a new resident wants to move into an available room in your shared home, you and any other current roommates in the home will be notified and given the chance to reject this interested resident and prevent them from moving in.

Please note: any current residents who choose to reject a prospective roommate will be held responsible for covering the rent for the vacant room, in addition to their own monthly rent.

Please further note: June may not discriminate against protected classes when rejecting potential residents, and neither can our current residents when rejecting potential roommates.

Yes! Couples are welcome in select shared homes for an additional $250 per month. Only homes with a 1:1 bathroom ratio are considered couple-friendly, and only one couple can occupy these units at a time.

Most of our homes are not ideal for pets. However, select homes do allow pets for an additional monthly fee: $50 for a cat and $100 for a dog. Please note that, as per the law, any and all of our homes allow ESA and ADA animals, even if they are not listed as ‘pet friendly.’ This means that you may be paired with someone who is legally authorized to have a pet. Across all cities, any resident who needs to live with an ESA is required to fill out a form specifying this as part of their application.

Yes! Visitors are welcome between the hours of 10:00 AM and 10:00 PM. If you’re having more than a couple of visitors over at once, be sure to let your roommates know.

A friend that stays past 10:00 PM is considered an overnight visitor. All overnight visitors must be registered through the June App with their full name and phone number, for the safety and consideration of all housemates. There is a maximum limit of 8 overnight visitors per month, only one at a time. If the visitor stays for more than eight 8 nights per month, the host shall be charged for the daily rate of the host’s room price for their guest, in addition to their license fee.

June Residents must take full responsibility for their visitors. Any violation or damage caused by a visitor is considered the resident's violation, and June policies apply accordingly. Please exercise care when inviting people into your shared home.

Before your move-in date you’ll be offered an onboarding call, where you can ask questions and get all the information you need. You’ll also receive details like door codes via email and your June app.

We uphold a 3:00 PM move-in policy for several reasons, but most importantly to ensure that your move-in is as smooth as possible. In the case that the previous resident may be moving out the day you move in, we need time to inspect and clean the room, ensuring you will be moving into a space that meets our standards.

If you need to move in earlier than 3:00 PM, we may be able to accommodate this on a case-by-case basis for an additional fee - just email our team with your request.

June prices are dynamic—meaning our listing price changes as your desired dates change or as the market changes. We monitor millions of apartment listings to ensure that we are competitive and that we value the benefits of a June home properly. Where we find opportunities to pass along cost savings to applicants, we do. You can see the price for your 🤞 next home and dates on the home listing page. To lock in your price, complete the application. Once you sign your agreement with June, that will remain your price for the duration of your lease.

Your upfront costs are determined by your move-in date and length of stay. Please note all upfront payments are due within 3 days of your signature date.

Find out what a prorated bill is here.

In certain States, we do not collect a security deposit and instead require payment of an upfront fee or the first and last month's rent. Consult welcome@junehomes.com for more information.

A security deposit is equal to one month of rent.

Due to Chicago’s laws and regulations, we are not able to charge a refundable security deposit fee. Your options are:

• A one time move-in fee of $500 (per room)
• Sign up with our partner for security deposit replacement (more budget friendly!).

The home essentials fee of $109 consists of a number of perks that aim to support shared living such as:

• Monthly cleaning of the common areas

We refund security deposits within 14 business days of your move-out date.

All June rent payments can be made through PropertyWare and Stripe. Please note that these payment methods charge transaction fees for different payment methods, over which June has no control. Payments made through checks or third-party platforms other than PropertyWare or Stripe will not be accepted.

PropertyWare charges different transaction fees for different payment methods: each ACH/direct deposit transaction is charged a $2.95 fee, each cash transaction is charged a $3.75 fee and each credit card transaction is charged a 3.10% transaction fee of the payment amount.

Stripe sends invoices via email through which payments can be made directly by entering debit/credit card details and they charge a 3.5% transaction fee.

You will make your utility payments using the Nutiliti App. Once signed-up, you’ll be guided on how to add a payment method and pay your utility bill. Refer to Paying Utilities Via Nutiliti to learn more about how to do this.

We list both shared homes with roommates as well as studios and one bedrooms for rent. These homes range from recently refreshed units in older, historical buildings to brand new homes, and all have been decorated by our expert design team. When you rent a shared home, you will be sharing the space with other roommates who June will help find for you. If you rent a studio or one bedroom, you will not share that apartment with any roommates.

Many tenants in major U.S. cities prefer to rent with roommates as it's usually more cost efficient to rent this way. June helps roommates find each other to co-sign the lease and move into the same apartment. Please note that according to local housing regulations, you are NOT renting a private bedroom, but rather a whole apartment.

You and your roommates will share the cost of the rent for the whole apartment and the prices you see on our site are the portion of rent you are agreeing to pay.

The average age of our residents is 25, and they are generally professionals and students. Rest assured that all June residents are vetted with background and credit checks, and we speak with them on tour either virtually or in person. However, we can only see what we see and we can't make any promises about their behavior or how they will be as roommates. That is why we pledge that if you are unsatisfied with your home in any way, and you let us know within the first 7 days of your move-in, we will waive the $200 relocation fee for you. See below. For more information on roommates, you can check out Resident Profiles on our site.

Due to privacy restrictions, June is unable to share identifying information about current residents. However, if your future roommate has completed an online Resident Profile, you can find out more about them on our site, such as their name, living habits, hobbies, and occupation. When you submit your application and get approved, you’ll also be able to see their profiles in your June account.

Yes. To give you an idea of our resident rotation, June residents typically stay for an average of four months. If you are getting a new roommate, we will inform you when their application has been approved.

If you are unsatisfied with your home in any way, let us know within the first 7 days of your move-in and we will waive the $200 relocation fee for you. After this point, you can still relocate but a $200 relocation fee will apply.

*We will require a 30 day notice for relocation and US housing laws require a 30 day minimum stay in each home. Learn more about our Rent Easy guarantee in terms and conditions: https://junehomes.com/guarantee.

We encourage all residents living in shared homes to practice respect and communication with each other at all times. Learn tips and tricks on how to be a great roommate here .

If you are experiencing serious issues with any current roommates, you can reach out to us to be relocated, and we will work together to find the best solution.

You can rent a home that’s unfurnished or fully furnished. Simply choose your preference by selecting either “Furnished” or “Unfurnished” on the home listing. Please note that the home’s monthly fee will change according to your choice.

Once you’re a resident, you can access the Resident Portal by logging into your account using desktop or the June app at any time. Here you’ll be able to make rent payments, maintenance requests and submit general questions.

Let us know! You can report any maintenance issues or submit general questions about maintenance on the Resident Portal. Access the Resident Portal by logging into your account using your desktop or the June app. Send your request by submitting a ticket using the Portal and we will get back to you within 24 hours.

June has designed a system that negates a need to contact your landlord directly. We step in to fulfill the responsibilities your landlord usually would, with a Support Team who is available 24/7 on our app to help with anything you may need, from maintenance requests to general questions about your building. Your comfort is our priority and we work directly with landlords to resolve any issues that arise.

June homes are available in some of the most up-and-coming, desirable neighborhoods. We encourage all future residents to research the neighborhood they’re considering before moving in to learn more about the area.

Please note that June is unfortunately not permitted to comment on the safety levels of different neighborhoods, and we encourage all residents to stay alert and take all necessary safety precautions while renting with us.

We’re available 24/7 to help you out. In the event you are locked out and a June representative is called to resolve the issue, there is a $100 lock out fee applied. If a resident loses their key, a key replacement fee depending on the key type is applied.

Many mail services can help out with delivering your mail and packages safely in big cities. Services like FedEx, Amazon, UPS and USPS ship your mail and packages.

USPS delivers mail and they have a key to the building. They deliver items such as letters, bills, magazines, and small packages directly to your mailbox. If it’s a package the delivery company will ring the doorbell and attempt to give the package directly to you. If you’re not home and they have access to the building they will leave the package inside the front door to the building. If they don’t have access, they may leave the package outside the building. If they need your signature they will leave a notice of attempted delivery on the door.

When you’re at work or traveling and aren’t home to accept your mail and packages, you can get them shipped to an Amazon Locker . They’ll accept and hold your mail and packages for you, and you’ll be able to pick them up within a certain window.

Yes, we allow potential approved residents to see any home in person, during reasonable hours on weekdays and weekends. We always give advance notice of future showings and appreciate your understanding of this. Rest assured that in-person tours will abide by all safety regulations due to COVID-19.

Residents shall comply with all applicable recycling and trash disposal laws. Residents must also separate trash as designated by June Homes and in accordance with local laws, and take out the trash on an as-needed basis. All fees/city fines associated with incorrect trash disposal will be charged to Residents.

Instead of waiting for supplies to be delivered by our team when you’re in need of them, we’ve created a new option for residents to purchase monthly supplies themselves, and in their own time instead. Each shared home has a collective piggy bank for home supplies, where $20 (plus taxes) is allocated to each roommate per month.

If you purchase paper towels, toilet paper, dishwasher pods, trash bags, dish sponges, hand soap or dish soap be sure to keep your receipt and June will reimburse you. To request reimbursement, submit a ticket through the June app by tapping ‘Supplies’ and then "I bought supplies, I'd like reimbursement.”

The reimbursement amount will be added as credit to your next monthly payment and all roommates will be informed when any purchase is made.

Please note: if you did not receive home supplies previously, you can also request reimbursement for those purchases on the app.

In shared homes all common spaces are by default furnished (the kitchen will have pots and pans, a TV will be provided). In a furnished shared home, your private room will be furnished in addition to the common spaces.

In an unfurnished shared home, the common areas of the home will still be furnished, but your private room will not be furnished.

In a private home, unless you choose to rent furnished, the entire home will come unfurnished, including rooms like the kitchen and living room.

The Boston Student Community Network is a June initiative that aims to provide community and convenience to students and medical practitioners within educational institutions in Boston. BSCN evaluates prospective residential homes for students and practitioners based on proximity to the respective campus, affordability, bed-to-bath ratio and home features.

BSCN June homes are marked as such on our website, helping Boston students and medical practitioners easily find homes that are well catered to them. It also helps them find each other: these homes improve the chances of students and practitioners living together or with roommates who can relate to their lifestyle.

The rooms are unable to lock from the exterior. In the case of an emergency, residents need to access all spaces of the home. Locks can be added to the interior of a bedroom door so that when a person occupies the space, the door locks. The charges are based on the handyman market prices and the material cost.

We’ve partnered with Nutiliti to provide you with a one-stop shop for all your utility needs. Electricity, gas, water, sewer, and trash, are consolidated and managed directly through the Nutiliti app. The app is available for download on both Apple and Android devices.

Once you’ve signed your contract with June, you’ll receive a welcome email from Nutiliti with sign up instructions for the app. All residents must please download the app and sign up with Nutiliti before moving-in. Please note: any resident who hasn't created a Nutiliti account before their first utility bill is due will be charged a penalty.

Nutiliti handles the setup of all your utilities, and June will let you know if an appointment is required to begin service at your address. While living with June, Nutiliti will provide you with a copy of your utility bill each month and help you with all utility-related questions.

You’ll use Nutiliti to make payments for the electricity, water and gas you use in your home. Each month, Nutiliti pays your entire bill and then charges you for your portion of each bill.

If you are a current resident and you switch over to Nutiliti, June will reward you by reducing your monthly resident fee from $145 to $109. In addition to this, June will also pay you a $50 monthly rebate for every month that you are a resident. You will receive this rebate as one payment at the end of your lease after your move out of your apartment.

Please note that in order to qualify for this reward you must sign the Utility Addendum and activate your Nutiliti account. Learn more about this reward program in the Ts & Cs .

These things add up. Here are some ways you can avoid a costly utility bill at the end of the month:

• Remember to switch off lights and appliances when you’re not using them

• Avoid setting your indoor temperatures to extreme levels to counteract outside temperatures. For example; continuously keeping your air conditioner set to 68 degrees when it’s hot outside, or continuously keeping your heater set to 75 degrees when it’s cold outside

• Switch off the "fan on" option on your thermostat. This option keeps your air conditioning unit continually blowing air throughout the unit, even if the temperature inside is at the desired level

A prorated bill is when a resident only pays a percentage of the bill according to the number of days their lease was active during the billing cycle. Bills are typically only prorated when someone moves in or out during the middle of a billing cycle. If a bill is not prorated, tenants divide the percentage evenly no matter how many days they were physically present in the unit.

8:00 AM - 6:00 PM, Monday through Friday. If you need assistance outside of these business hours, contact support@Nutiliti.com and you will receive a response by the next business day.

Nutiliti does not accept cash payments, but you can pay your bill using a credit card, debit card, or bank account on the Nutiliti app.

In the event of any damage or loss of your personal belongings, renter’s insurance will be your sole resource to request compensation as you’ll be able to file a claim and receive compensation. Also, depending on the insurance package, you may also be eligible to receive temporary housing in case your home is deemed uninhabitable for a specific period of time.

June suggests all residents get their hands on a renter’s insurance plan (or verify their already existing one!) as by doing so, you can have peace of mind knowing that your personal belongings are protected during your renting period

When living with roommates, open communication is key. This means that from the beginning, it’s essential to establish a clear line of communication between you and your roommates. Discussing your preferences and boundaries early on can save you a lot of trouble down the line.

Establish a roommate etiquette for resolving conflicts. When living with roommates, disagreements are inevitable, but it’s important to handle them maturely and respectfully. Come up with rules for conflict resolution, such as agreeing to always listen to each other’s perspectives and taking a break if things get heated.

One of the most important rules when living with roommates is to keep shared spaces clean. No one wants to come home to a messy living room or kitchen, so it’s essential to establish a system for cleaning and maintaining shared spaces.

Respect each other’s privacy by establishing boundaries and discussing rules for entering each other’s rooms. Ask permission before entering someone’s room, even if the door is open. Respect each other’s belongings and privacy by avoiding touching or moving anything in the room without asking first. Remember, everyone has different comfort levels regarding personal space. Some roommates may be more introverted and value their alone time, while others may be more extroverted and enjoy socializing.

Establish responsibilities for bills, rent, and utilities. This means discussing splitting bills such as rent, setting up a cost-sharing system, and ensuring everyone knows their financial responsibilities. Also, discuss expectations for sharing chores and responsibilities.

Rules for guests and parties ensure everyone feels comfortable and respected in their living space. Ensure all roommates are comfortable with the number of guests and the frequency of their visits.

Establish safety rules to create a secure living space for everyone. Discuss emergency procedures and establish a plan for what to do in an emergency. This could involve creating an emergency contact list, designating a meeting spot outside the building, and discussing evacuation procedures
