What happens if the employer provided housing does not work out? #

If employer-provided housing does not work out while you’re a j-1 work&travel student in the USA, communicate the issues with your employer to seek a resolution, such as improvements or alternative accommodations. Review your contract for guidance, and if immediate relocation is necessary, discuss temporary solutions. Ensure the housing is safe and legal, and if needed, consider arranging your own housing while confirming any financial impacts with your employer. Addressing these issues promptly can help maintain your safety and job performance.

What do I need to do if I decide to change housing while I am in the U.S.? #

If you decide to change housing while in the U.S., inform your employer and review your contract for any related clauses. Find new accommodation that meets your needs and budget, ensuring it’s safe and legally compliant. Arrange the move, notify relevant parties of your new address, and settle any financial obligations or lease terms associated with your previous housing.

Who do I tell if there are problems with the housing that is provided by the employer or sponsor? #

If there are problems with the housing provided by your employer or sponsor, inform your employer or housing coordinator immediately. Clearly communicate the issues and request a resolution or alternative accommodations. If necessary, escalate the matter to higher management or the appropriate department within your organization.
