Please take note that if 30 minutes have passed after the scheduled time and no one arrives, the manager will have to move to the next appointment and you will need to reschedule the visit.
If you bring all documents on the inspection day it is possible to proceed with the application right there.
If the application passes the screening process, the next step is signing of the contract.
You can move in right after finalising your contract and the preparation of the property is complete.
There is no lottery system, so you can move in right away if the room is unoccupied.

The cost required to move in will be calculated as follows:
① Daily rent for the first month (calculated as a 30-day month)
② Rent for the second month
