Corporate Housing - Tips For
Employees
 You should always see the apartment first. Better to know what you are getting into than get
a nasty surprise on the day of moving.
 Notify property managers of specific requests regarding furniture or cable. They will need to
know these requests so they can make the necessary changes.
 It’s unlikely that your employer has done this so make sure your cable and internet are up to
date. Is there a wireless router? Is it high-speed? Is it a good package?
 Look for amenities. Make sure the accommodation comes with premium amenities like a
pool, fitness centre, parking, garage and housekeeping.
 Tour the apartment first to make sure it feels like home. Is it comfortable? Do you feel cosy?
 If you are in charge of the budget then make sure you get to see a number of different
apartments for your money. They should present a range of pricing options in order to
accommodate you.
