skill
1. The lease term of an off-campus apartment is usually one year. Early withdrawal will lose the deposit, and the tenant can continue to perform the contract by subletting to others.
2. All off-campus student apartments do not provide beds, tables and other furniture, and residents need to buy them themselves, but generally there are wardrobes for clothes.
3. International students can rent a house separately and then sublet it, but the identity of the subletter is not a tenant, but an occupant. Usually, the number of people in each apartment should not exceed three.
