Deposits
After an application has been reviewed and accepted, a room deposit of $800 is required to reserve a room. The deposit is refundable 5-6 weeks after check-out pending no damage to the room or ISH-DC property and that the resident contract is fulfilled. Please read the “Changes and Cancellation Guidelines” for additional information.
Payment
On arrival, residents pay at least one full month rent and payment is due on the first of each month thereafter.
- Invoices are processed every Thursday. Regardless of when you move in, you will receive your first invoice on the Thursday(s) after your move-in.
- There is a 5% late fee for payments made 5 days after you receive your first invoice.
- If you request a cancellation or early departure at least thirty (30) days before your requested departure, there is no fee. If you request an early departure fewer than thirty (30) days before your requested departure, you will be charged in 15-day increments. Your Membership deposit may be withheld if there are any outstanding charges that have not been paid and if any I-House property is not returned in good condition. In the event of any violation of the terms of this Agreement or any I-House DC policies, rules or procedures, I-House DC may retain all or a portion of the deposit.
- If you leave the House for a holiday or any other temporary leave prior to the end of your stated reservation dates, room, and board charges will apply.
Payment of fees may be made with traveler’s checks, personal checks drawn on a U.S. Bank, a bank transfer, and Visa or Master Card. Checks should be made payable to the International Student House. ISH-DC does not accept any cash payments.
