Q1: What is the difference between corporate housing and a regular apartment lease?
A: Corporate housing is a furnished apartment for those in need of a more flexible stay period. Unlike a regular lease, corporate housing allows residents to pay for furniture, utilities, and amenities at a single monthly rate and allows for shorter, adjustable terms.
Q2: What is the minimum and maximum length allowed to stay?
A: While there is technically no maximum length someone can stay, corporate housing is designed to accommodate assignments ranging from a single month to a year or more. The minimum length someone is required to stay after reserving is at least 30 days.
Q3: Is corporate housing pet friendly?
A: Many of the AHI Corporate Housing locations are welcoming of pets, however, these policies change depending on the property. You will be provided all information necessary regarding pet policies and fees at the time of booking.
Q4: Is a security deposit required, and how much is it typically?
A: Depending on the property and length of stay a security deposit requirement will change. All deposit amounts will be discussed during the reservation process for the chosen location.
Q5: Can a room layout be customized or swapped out?
A: The furniture put in the room is designed to meet a wide range of needs, and most of the units arrive fully set up and ready for move-in. Changes to furniture in rooms can be requested and discussed with the property team on a case-by-case basis.
Q6: What’s the cancellation or early-termination policy?
A: Specific cancellation terms can vary from property to property and depend on the original reservation agreement. Since corporate housing is different from a regular apartment lease, adjusting a move-out date is pretty straightforward with a written notice.
Q7: Do the apartments come with amenities like a pool, gym, or gated access?
A: Yes, many of the AHI Corporate Housing properties are located within apartment communities that offer amenities such as pools, fitness centers, and secured or gated access. However, the amenities offered vary from property to property.
