Normally, Wi-Fi is not functional when you enter the first time in the apartment. But installing internet via Wi-Fi is a formality. Most of the time, tenants make a contract with an internet provider company. This contract is made in a few minutes and has very low costs. Wi-Fi is installed in all apartments. It must only be activated by signing the mentioned contract. In general, the cost is included in the estimated amount of expenses (CHARGES). If we say the charges for an apartment is 50 euros per month, that means the costs with the internet is already included in this 50 euros.

What we call CHARGES in Cluj-Napoca are the payments that correspond to electricity, water, garbage, gas, heating and internet. These expenses are never included in the rent and they are flexible, as they depend on the consumption of each tenant.

The deposit or the security deposit is an amount of money that each tenant pays at the beginning of the contract and receives at the end of the contract. This amount of money remains the tenant's money, but is kept by the owner. The owner can use a part of this deposit to repair the damage caused by the tenant or to pay the remaining expenses after the tenant leaves. Some owners request as deposit the equivalent of a rent, others the equivalent of several rents. The rule says: the higher the quality of the apartment, the higher the deposit.

When we talk about facilities, we mean the safety and comfort that an apartment offers. Thus, the complexes in which there are several apartments and which are rented to foreign students are the most convenient and comfortable. Uniassist exclusively manages several such residential projects. They are equipped with video cameras for security, have an administrator who deals with the tenants' problems and offer perfect conditions for students to study in peace and safety.

All apartments, without any exception, are equipped with strictly necessary electrical appliances: refrigerator, stove or cooking machine, washing machine or individual heating system. All apartments are rented furnished. But most of them are not rented with things like cooking pots, cutlery, sheets, quilts or pillows, because these are very personal things, which require perfect hygiene. Uniassist recommends purchasing these things, as they are not expensive. The better equipped apartments also have a dishwasher.

When you want to leave the apartment before the deadline of the contract, you have the possibility to notify the owner 30 days before, 60 days before or 90 days before. Be careful! If the owners have buildings with lots of apartments, they sometimes request damages like the equivalent of the unpaid rent until the end of the contract. The explanation: the more tenants you have, the more the losses generated by their moving increase.

In Cluj, normally, the agency fees for a rental transaction do not exceed 50% of the first rent plus taxes. For example, if you rent an apartment for 400 euros / month, you have to pay the real estate agency a fee of 200 euros plus taxes. You only pay these fees once. Uniassist claims, as agency fees, 50% of the first rent, taxes included. If, for example, you rented an apartment with the help of Uniassist and the rent for this apartment is 400 euros, you will pay Uniassist, as real estate costs, 200 euros, taxes included. Remember, you don’t have to pay any fees if you don’t rent an apartment with the help of the real estate agency that claims these fees. In addition, if the real estate agency does not offer you a receipt for the fees, according to the laws of Romania, you need to pay nothing.

Most of the students live in Centre, in Zorilor, Mănăştur or Plopilor area. For students of UMF (The University of Medicine and Pharmacy), the best locations are Zorilor and Centre. For students of USAMV (The University of Agricultural Sciences and Veterinary Medicine), the best locations are Center, Plopilor and Mănăştur area. Although the houses in these areas are more expensive, there are great benefits. You don’t need to take a taxi in order to go to school, or to wake up an hour before leaving. In the breaks between classes, if you live nearby, you can go home to shower, change or relax, because sometimes you have classes from dusk till dawn.
