Living basement in summer time is very covinent and awesome because it is very cool. However, the winter is coming soon and I don't recommend you living basement no matter how it is cheap.Tell you the truth, I had lived in basement at homestay for 11 months. For a young and brave boy, it is not a problem at all because I know my purpose is to study English at homestay, so I ignore the living condition. You'd better find an apartment or house.# j- |" \* v1 G% U

Apartment很多是month-by-month,就是逐月续约。每栋楼一个锅炉房。一般是烧油或天然气。大多数Apartment包水、暖气、车位(少数,如high-rise,例外)。一般不包电费,少数例外,如大学的房子、Boardwalk的high-rise。电费一般$30-$50/mo。搬出须提前一个月书面通知。如果没有损坏且卫生打扫干净,可取回全部的押金。遇上坏房东,押金也可能(全部或部分)拿不回来。打官司理论上很简单,实际几乎不可行。7 R1 q& F. f+ n
