Short-term furnished apartments will be available by the Spring of 2000. Rental rates are expected to increase slightly by September, 2000. Rent includes heat, air conditioning, hot water and cooking gas. Although management cannot guarantee that an apartment will be available, every effort is made to accommodate all persons who have made a deposit. Once a reservation is confirmed for a particular apartment, the deposit is nonrefundable.
Leases are sometimes negotiable for an academic or calendar year.
Most apartments include heat and hot water, wiring for cable T.V., and 24-hour emergency maintenance. The key deposit is refunded when the tenant moves out of the apartment and returns the key.
