The guide does not collect document numbers or create a nationwide list of mandatory foreign-resident documents. Record the provider answer before bringing originals or copies.
Who will hold and manage the contract?
Confirm the applicant, billing party and authority for any representative application.
A landlord-included service can have a different contract holder. Ask who may request changes, transfers or termination and how that authority is checked.
What should be kept from the agreement?
Keep the stated term, recurring charges, one-time costs and conditions in a form that can be checked later.
Ask about an explanation you can understand and reconcile it with the actual agreement. A translated summary is not a separate promise about eligibility or exemption.
