I booked an apartment, but it didn&#x27;t meet my expectations when I arrived. What should I do?

Accepted Answer

Please get in touch with the apartment management office directly, tell them what is not in line with your expectations, and coordinate with the apartment. If there is no room to change the lease and you do not want to break it, the best thing to do is to sublet the apartment to someone else.
