FAQs

Q?Do you hold a security deposit?
A.

Yes we do, usually it is $100 or $200 and when you leave the accommodations we will reimburse you promptly.

In order to get your deposit back make sure you wash your dirty dishes, empty the trash cans and leave the apartment more or less as you found it.

We may hold a portion of the deposit if the apartment is left in a mess or items are broken as a result of abuse.

This rarely happens though as the majority of our tenants respect the effort that has gone into preparing the accommodations for them and return them in similar condition.

Q?Can you help me find a job?
A.

Frequently we have Captains call us looking for dayworkers and we are able to recommend tenants based on their abilities. However the full-time jobs are best left to the crew agencies to source and any opportunities that arise outside these channels are usually to be treated with caution.

A.

All our one bedroom apartments are a three minute stroll from Maritime Professional Training. (pick up a coffee and blueberry muffin from John at the coffee shop on the way). We are a little further from International Crew Training, about a 10 minute walk and you are then also in the midst of all the crew agencies as well as supermarkets and restaurants.
