校外生活

选择室友

重要的是要确保你和你的室友在几个不同的层面上是相容的, 包括学习/睡眠模式, cleanliness, eating habits, social habits, etc. 不要轻易选择你的室友，因为你会和他们在一起很长一段时间.

安全的存款

Rental properties require a security deposit up front, used to help the landlord pay for repairs as they happen. 在你的租约结束时, 前提是你遵守了合同条款，没有损坏财产, you will receive your security deposit back.

Signing a Lease

When you sign a lease, you are entering into a legal agreement. 在签署任何文件之前，确保你已经通读了整个文件. If there is something in that you don’t understand, ask questions! An individual lease is a lease for a single room within a space, which makes you the sole person responsible for damages within that room. 集体租赁是对整个物业的租赁，由居住在该空间的所有人共同签署. 这份租约要求整个集团对整个空间的损害负责.

Tips

在签订租约之前，一定要确保至少看一遍房产. 尽可能多地问问题. 别忘了，你可能会在这个空间里生活一整年, and that though everything may seem great now, the house may have problems at other times in the year. 同样重要的是，要明确谁承担公用事业的责任, repairs, lawn maintenance, etc.

Some helpful questions to ask may include:

• 每月租金是多少?

• 我怎么付房租?

• 水电费包括在房租里吗 ? If not, which utilities am I responsible for?

• 一般的水电费帐单是多少?

• 这房子绝缘好吗? (which can usually be guessed based upon the winter utility bills)

• Have previous tenants reported any problems?

设置实用程序

有线电视和互联网 – Check with your landlord about what television, phone and internet service is available for the property. In some cases, 可能已经安装了卫星天线, and you simply have to purchase service through that provider. 如果可能的话，货比三家，看看哪种选择最适合你的有线电视和互联网需求. Most providers offer a discount for new renters.
