What it really means

The earliest date you can move in, shown on adverts. "Available now" means immediately. Popular student properties are advertised many months before they become available.

Chinese explanation

广告上标注的最早可入住日期。"Available now"表示立即可住。热门学生房源往往提前好几个月放出广告。

A：广告上写7月1日起可入住。 B：正合适——我们现在的合同6月到期。
