Booking
What information do I need to supply for the application?

To apply, we ask for some standard personal identification and contact details. It's also important to show that you can comfortably cover the rent. This can be done by providing proof of income or demonstrating cash assets. If you have any questions about the process, feel free to reach out!
What criteria do you use to evaluate potential renters?

We evaluate applicants based on a few key criteria to ensure a secure and comfortable living environment for everyone:

Financial Qualification: We verify your ability to meet the rent requirements (income, assets, or guarantor) as outlined in the application details.
Community Compatibility: We consider lifestyle and personality to help ensure a positive and respectful fit with the current housemates.
Standard Screening: This includes necessary background checks and review by our team, with final approval from the local Community Manager.
Is it possible to arrive before the designated move-in time or stay past the move-out time?

Our standard procedure includes designated move-in and move-out times. This is necessary to allow our team time to properly clean and prepare the room for the next resident. Arriving before your scheduled move-in time or staying past your move-out time is generally not possible as the room needs to be vacant and prepared. Any requests for exceptions must be submitted well in advance and are subject to availability and potential additional fees.
Can I extend or shorten my stay?

Yes, as part of our standard screening process to assess financial responsibility, a credit check is conducted for all applicants. Your credit history and score are taken into consideration alongside your income or assets, and your background check, as part of the overall evaluation for tenancy. While we review your full financial picture, a reasonable credit history is generally expected.
When/how will you refund my security deposit?

Your security deposit is typically refunded within 8-10 business days after your rental agreement ends. This refund is subject to a review of your room for any excessive damage beyond normal wear and tear. If you choose to extend your stay or book a new room with us, your security deposit will carry over and be adjusted if the rent price for your future stay is different.
Can I cancel a booking?

You can cancel free of charge as long as you have not paid. Once you have paid for your booking, the cancellation policy must be respected.
What if I don’t know exactly how long I want to stay?
