Frequently Asked Questions about corporate housing from ExtendedStayHomes.com
Please also refer to Rates and
Policies page for additional information on our corporate short term
rentals.
Q. I don't know how long I will need the apartment;
can I rent on a month-to-month basis?
A. Yes. It is our
policy that your temporary corporate apartment shall remain yours until you
notify us that you do not need it any longer. Unlike other interim housing
providers, we will NOT re-rent your temporary corporate apartment (forcing
you to move, temporarily, again!) prior to your approval. We require a
minimum of 30 days written (email or fax) notice of your future intention to
end your lease term. We even can provide you with a form letter!
Q. Oops I miscalculated! What do I do if I need to
stay beyond my initial lease term?
A. It's simple. Just give
us notice, 30 days prior to your lease expiration date. Then we can continue
on a month-to-month basis (see previous answer).
Q.
What is the total amount due to move into your corporate
short term rentals?
A. The one month's rent + security
deposit. Also see Rates
and Policies.
Q. Are there any other fees or costs?
A.
There is a one-time cleaning fee of $125.
Also see Rates and Policies
for details.
Q. Can I occupy my furnished interim
housing in the middle of a month?
A. Yes, you can start any day, you are not restricted to the 1st of
the month. Also see the property’s page for availability dates. Your rent
will be prorated based on your lease start date. You will receive the
prorated rent credit the following month since we require a full one month's
rent prior to moving into your apartment.
Q.
Do I need to arrange for utility services?
A.
No. All utilities are "on" and ready for your immediate use, which includes
electric, gas, water, phone service, cable TV and high speed internet…Just
Like Home! Also, please refer to the property’s page for details.
Q.
Are utilities included in the rent for your temporary
corporate apartments?
A. Yes and No.
Yes: Some
properties are priced with all the utilities included, please refer to the
property’s page for details. Additionally, if you or your company prefers
the convenience of one bill each month we can set any property up with all
the utilities included.
No: Please refer to the property’s page for details. Some tenants
prefer detailed actual usage billing. In these cases, we pay the monthly
bills and every 2+ months the tenant is invoiced for their actual usage.
Copies of the bills are attached to the invoice and the actual amounts are
prorated based on the bill date and move-in/move-out dates.
Q.
Do you allow pets?
A. Pets are allowed in
certain properties with prior written approval and consent. There are NO
additional security deposits required for pets. Please contact us for pet
friendly locations or refer to the property’s page for details.
Q. What is your pet policy?
A.
1. There is a one-time pet cleaning fee of $200 which will be
deducted from your security deposit upon vacating your corporate short term
rental. We must have all upholstery, draperies, linens & area rugs
professionally cleaned as well as more thorough cleaning around and behind
furniture.
2. There is a "pet rent" charge of $100/month/pet.

additional fee.
Q.
I'm trying to decide what items I should bring
with me, do you have a list of included items?
A. Yes, we can provide a complete inventory list upon request. At a
minimum, "Just bring a toothbrush & a suitcase!"
Q.
Is there an alarm clock?
A. Yes.
Q. With all other temporary corporate apartments
I have to decide on which furniture rental package I want/need and whether I
want to pay extra for art on the walls…I have a lot on my mind right now, do
I have to make all these confusing, costly decisions with your furnished
interim housing?
A. No. All our furnished interim housing
properties are uniquely furnished and distinctly decorated at all times. No
two properties are alike…each property is individually furnished, decorated
& completely equipped. We have no such thing as a “standard” furnishing
package; each unique temporary corporate apartment is decorated with all the
necessary furnishings, whatever it takes, until it’s comfortable and
complete. The only thing you choose is which one of our unique corporate
short term rentals and prime locations you want. "Just bring a toothbrush &
a suitcase!"
Q. I have a bicycle/empty boxes/suitcases, is there
any on-site area to store these items?
A. Yes, you have a
designated storage space in the basement, attic, storage room and/or garage.
Since storage space is limited, we cannot permit the storage of furniture or
very large items.
Q. I will be new to the area
and will be looking for a home to purchase. Can you help me find a home to
buy or refer me to another experienced REALTOR?
A. Yes. Bruce

full time experience. Bruce knows the area real estate market. He views,
manages, brokers, sells and buys real estate everyday. Bruce works with only
the best REALTORS in every market we have properties represented. Please ask

website. Not all furnished properties can become Affiliated Properties; only
those properties which conform to ExtendedStayHomes.com’s values and

state/country. Can you find a tenant to rent my furnished temporary home and
