Accommodation and housing

Housing terms should be clear before arrival. Some employers provide accommodation, some subsidize it, and others expect workers to arrange it independently.

Questions to ask before arrival

Is the housing free, subsidized, or deducted from salary?

Will you have a private room, shared room, or dorm-style setup?

How far is the accommodation from the workplace and how do workers commute?

What good employer support looks like

Written housing terms with photos, address details, and move-in timing.

Clarity on utility costs, internet, deposits, and rules for leaving the accommodation.

Support with local registration if the address is used for residency processes.

Risk signals to watch

No written information about housing costs or deductions.

Pressure to accept unclear shared accommodation after arrival.

Promises of housing that are not reflected in the contract or onboarding documents.
