Short/Long Term Leases
Hi all,
I am about to come up to HK with CX (SO) and have a quick question....
I understand you get the full housing allowance when you sign a lease, if you have not signed anything you get a smaller allowance in lieu. My plan is to get a furnished apartment on a month by month lease until I figure out the best place for my family to live. Whilst I am in a furnished short term arrangement, if I sign a lease (for the month), do CX fund that (ie upto $22K-ish) or is the full rental allowance only available on a long term (1-2 year) lease.
I guess what I am asking is whilst I am in short term accomodation should I be planning for $14K a month or the full rent allowance?
Hope this makes sense and someone reading knows the answer.
Cheers!
