Your Questions, Answered

Availability and Booking

Can I move in early or late? 

Moving in early depends on your scheduled move-in date, the current tenant’s move-out date, and whether we have enough time to clean the room before you arrive. If you wish to move in earlier than the scheduled date, you may be able to do so for an extra fee of $50, but only if the conditions mentioned above are met. After your scheduled move-in date, you can move in at any time. Please contact our sales team for any specific questions about your stay.

Can I cancel my lease? 

Of course, you can! Given it’s a legally binding document, terms and conditions apply, so please reach out to our team to inform you of the fee associated with terminating your lease early. You can also find more information here if you have already moved in or here if your move-in date hasn't come yet!

Can the lease be extended? 

The short answer is yes, depending on availability! Don’t worry though, you will always have priority over any incoming tenant and we will reach out to you to confirm whether you intend to further extend your stay before we sell your room. In the event we do not hear back and the room gets sold, we will be there to help you find an alternative option!

Is the unit available for a shorter or longer lease term? Minimum lease duration? 

All units are available for any stay from 1-18 months and you can always extend further if needed! The minimum lease duration in days is between 30 & 32 days, depending on the city. Feel free to reach out to our sales team so they can answer any questions specific to your stay!

Can the apartment be booked instantly after application? 

Once your application gets approved you can book the room/unit you want instantly! Please keep in mind that we operate on a first-come, first-serve basis and due to demand, your unit might be booked while we review your application. The rule of thumb is to submit everything as fast as possible and we will help you complete your reservation in no time! And don’t worry, if you miss out on your initial room, we will, of course, help you find an equally awesome alternative.

Pets

Are dogs or cats allowed? 

Dogs and cats that are not ESA or service animals are allowed in any pet-friendly unit within our inventory. There is a limitation of 1 pet/unit so please reach out to our sales team to help you with your request! ESAs and service animals are allowed in all of our units.

Is there any restriction on pet size or breed? 

While there are no restrictions on pet size or breeds, we always follow the State laws (where applicable).

Property Details

Are the apartments furnished? 

All the shared spaces within our shared homes come furnished - you always get to choose though the furnishing status of your own room! If you are interested in a studio or a 1-bed apartment, you get to choose the furnishing status of the entire space.

Is there air conditioning, heating, elevator,  in-unit laundry, or any other amenities?

Some properties do while others don’t. The best way to find out about a specific home is to either read the home description of the unit you are interested in, where you will find all necessary information, or reach out to our sales team to help you with any specific requests!

Is there designated parking available? 

Depending on the city, there are different parking options available. Some of our units do have available parking spots to rent along with your room/unit, which also rent on a first-come, first-serve basis. Feel free to reach out to our sales team so they can provide you with unit-specific information!

Can subtenants install additional amenities like AC units?

Room Configuration

Can private rooms or the entire unit be rented? 

Of course! If a unit is fully vacant for your desired dates and you’d like to book the entire home, you are more than welcome to do so! If not, and you need an entire home, we can still help you by providing you with alternative options! Alternatively, you can choose to proceed with only one room.

Are there options for shared accommodation? 

Of course! All our multi-bedroom homes are available to be booked on a per-room basis.

Is it possible to rent multiple rooms or the entire unit for a group? 

Of course! Depending on availability, you are welcome to book either multiple rooms or an entire unit for your stay!

What is the total cost for a specific period?

Once you have concluded on your move-in and move-out dates, you will know the total cost of your stay. Please reach out to our team to help you find the best prices for your stay and help you with the total costs! Cool sidenote: we always charge everything on a prorated basis!

Are there discounts for longer leases or upfront payments?

Application Process

Do tenants need a credit score or guarantor? 

We have some basic requirements for our application, which include a credit score minimum for all US citizens. If this is not met, then our team might ask for a cosigner!

Is there a security deposit? 

Yes, and it is equal to 1 month’s rent and fully refundable within 14 days of your move-out once the move-out inspection has been carried out to confirm there are no damages in the unit.

They sure can! Once your application has been approved you can schedule to visit up to 2 properties! Kindly note that you will only be able to see all shared spaces and vacant rooms - if a room is occupied we will not be able to show it.

Are virtual tours available? 

Absolutely! You can find them on our website for every property or you can book an appointment with one of our virtual tour agents so you can walk through it together.

Jersey City is the cultural hot spot within view of New York City

Once a major gateway to the USA, Hudson County welcomed millions of immigrants fresh from their steamships into the Bergen Neck peninsula region, a landscape of hills, inlets and neighborhoods mostly sandwiched between the Hudson and Hackensack Rivers. Today, with Jersey City as its county seat, the area is an eclectic urban destination with a revitalized feel, an international population (second in size only to New York City) and lots of green space. Less than one kilometer away from New York City, here you’ll find ethnically diverse cuisine, exciting cultural events, emerging art districts and a cosmopolitan sensibility to rival that of its popular neighbor’s, as well as sports attractions and plenty of outdoor recreation.

Singular Landmarks and Parks in Jersey City

Liberty State Park is a breath of fresh air on New York Bay amid the city hustle and bustle. Just across from Liberty Island and Ellis Island, the park’s 405 hectares include a promenade with a Statue of Liberty overlook. See the historic Central Railroad of New Jersey Terminal at the park’s north end, bike or hike Freedom Way’s trails, or take a kayak eco-tour on the Hudson River. At the Empty Sky 911 Memorial, a corridor of stainless steel focuses in on the space where the Twin Towers used to be and honors those New Jerseyans lost in the attacks. Don’t miss the Liberty Science Center’s 12 galleries and hundreds of exhibits or its IMAX dome theater, considered the USA’s largest. From here, take a Statue of Liberty Cruise by ferry to get even closer to the NYC skyline.

Big on Culture in Jersey

Several museums reflect the area’s diverse traditions and cultural influences. Explore the unconventional collection at The Museum of Russian Art, which features the work of rotating artists as well as permanent holdings. Look for seasonal exhibits that expand on the museum’s Avant-Garde and Nonconformist art focus. Take a trip to the Afro-American Historical and Cultural Society Museum, housed on the second floor of a library and filled with memorabilia, artifacts, documents and photographs that explore the area’s African American heritage. Check out downtown Jersey City’s Powerhouse and Riverview art districts to really get a sense of the community’s vision before heading to Mana Contemporary to see cutting-edge art, dance performances and even film screenings. Catch a concert or play at The Landmark Loew’s Jersey Theatre before you go.

Get Out and Go in Jersey

When you’re not kayaking or sailing on the Hudson River, or jet skiing past the Statue of Liberty on a guided Sea the City tour, carve some time out for Pole Position Raceway. This indoor go kart facility is the place to compete around the track in small or large groups, offering karts for kids of every size – and age. For bigger thrills, get tickets for a soccer match, rugby game or a concert at Red Bull Arena, home of the New York Red Bulls Major League Soccer team. If you want to get out and play yourself, Pershing Field Park offers an ice rink, pool, playground, fields and courts for any sport you can think of.
