Leases
1. Verify all details directly with the leasing company before applying — including application fees, utility coverage (what’s included or separate), parking type/availability, furnishing level, pet policies, and any additional terms or requirements.
2. Prices, room types, and furnishings shown are indicative and may vary depending on lease duration, occupancy, and property configurations. Always confirm inclusions before applying.
3. Lease terms and availability timeframes can differ — confirm the exact start/end dates, renewal options, and subleasing or early-exit flexibility directly with management.
4. Apply or send payment only after verifying communication with an official leasing representative or management source.

Sublease / Lease Takeover  /  Housemates
1. Verify the rental in-person to prevent scams. NEVER pay for housing you haven’t seen or confirmed directly with the actual tenant or landlord.
2. Confirm utilities, furnishing, and occupancy setup — these differ across listings.
3. Ensure there’s a clear understanding of lease terms, parking, pet policies, etc., before committing.
