Houses in Ann Arbor

When renting a house in Ann Arbor, can I cancel the lease at any time after signing the lease?

You may not. Generally speaking, the lease will take effect immediately after it is signed, and neither party can terminate the lease 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 entire 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.

How long is the lease term of a student apartment in Ann Arbor?

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). More often the case, for a lease period of less than 12 months, the apartment will charge an additional monthly short-term rental fee, ranging from $30-100 dollars per month.

When I go to study in Ann Arbor, when should I start applying for housing?

According to the school's local house-hunting habits, market supply, and individual needs, the time to start house-hunting varies for each school. And the start time is different for new students and returning students. For new students, they usually start to pay attention to renting houses after obtaining the school admission notice or confirmation to study in the local area, usually in April and May. We suggest that students formally apply for and sign for an apartment after receiving the I20 form. There are also a lot of new students who will come to the United States in advance and decide to sign up after seeing the apartment on site. Old students, that is returning students, the time they look for housing is more spread across the year. Old students in some schools usually start to sign for a house for the next academic year in the first semester (fall), but most of the old students usually start looking for houses in the spring semester.

Before deciding to sign the contract, can I come to Ann Arbor to see the apartment?

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.

What documents should I bring when checking in?

Please bring your passport, I-20, payment receipt, credit card, check, etc. Please note that the property does not accept cash.
