Questions to ask before signing that short-term lease
- Rates - What does the monthly rate include? Are there additional fees? Is a discounted rate for signing a longer lease possible?
AvenueWest says: Our monthly rate includes all furnishings, housewares, electronics, expanded basic cable, high-speed wireless internet, domestic long-distance phone service, and capped utilities. Yes, a discounted rate for signing a longer-term lease is possible. Ask your local Housing Coordinator for details. - Location - Is there a local office or on-site contact should the guest require assistance? If the company does not have a local office, ask how the company handles client requests and property issues.
AvenueWest says: All of our offices are locally owned and managed so there is always someone available to answer any questions. Someone is on call 24/7 in case there is ever an emergency. - Services - Is there a 24-hour maintenance service or other property amenities that will make the stay more pleasant?
AvenueWest says: Many of our properties are within condo or town home complexes that offer other amenities as well such as fitness centers and pools. Inquire with your local Account Executive for all available properties that include these features. - Accreditation - Ask whether the leasing agents are Certified Corporate Housing Professionals (CCHP). The CCHP certification means that the corporate housing professional has met industry standards.
AvenueWest says: Most of our Account Executives are Certified Corporate Housing Professionals. AvenueWest Managed Corporate Housing is a member of the Corporate Housing Providers Association (CHPA) and does follow all of the industry standards. - Experience - What percentage of the corporate housing company's business is involved in corporate relocations? Finding an experienced provider can be a bonus in this changing marketplace.
AvenueWest says: Over 50% of our business comes from corporate relocations. We are very familiar with the current relocation trends and work with many relocation companies. - Protection - How is the company and its vendors insured?
AvenueWest says: All of our offices have full coverage. Most of our properties are privately owned and each property owner is required to have adequate home owners insurance and AvenueWest is named as an additional insured. We also offer the ARDI (Accidental Rental Damage Insurance) policy to all of our tenants in lieu of a security deposit that covers them up to $3,000 of accidental property damage. All of our vendors are bonded and insured. - Policies - What is the company's policy when a guest does not like the property? Will they offer other available options to accommodate that guest?
AvenueWest says: If a guest isn't satisfied with one of our properties, we will do our absolute best to find them an alternate property to better meet their needs, depending on availability.
10 Items to Bring With You
Fully furnished rentals come with almost everything you could possibly need, but there are some items that most corporate housing companies DO NOT include in their units and you should bring along with you if you need them or ask before you arrive to have them included in your rental.
- Computers: laptops, iPads, tablets, etc. That said, most properties will have wireless Internet ready for you to simply plug into.
- Entertainment Media: There are no DVDs, CDs, or iPods in the unit so be sure to bring these items along with you.
- Personal Hygiene: Some items may be provided upon your arrival.
- Hairdryer: Hair straighteners, blow dryers, and curling irons are not typically included.
- Video Games: If you like playing video games and can't live without your gaming system you'll need to bring your own.
- Kid Fun: Cards, books, board games, and toys for the kiddos. If you're traveling with kids, consider bringing along these items.
- Food/drinks: You will find a snack basket when you arrive but if you would like your kitchen stocked you will need to ask before you arrive.
- Chef Supplies: If you are a culinary whiz, you may want to consider bringing your own kitchen tools. While fully furnished units are fully equipped to service the average business traveler, there are some kitchen items that are not required (garlic press for example) and the required unit items are typically not top-of-the-line quality.
- Baby Equipment: Traveling with baby? Items such as high chairs or cribs are not typical in corporate housing units. These can be rented for an additional monthly fee. Also, think about bringing your baby proofing items (such as socket covers, stair gates, etc.).
- Personal Items: Be sure to bring with you any and all medication, baby food/formula, clothes, shoes, and personal items. Decor items like candles are generally not included in the units.
