Let’s say that you found a great apartment, but what about
finding a suited lease type? That is really a difficult thing to do in today
world. What is a lease? It is a contract between the tenant and the landlord
which has a set of conditions and which costs the rental, services provided
within the length of stay. Leasing can be varying according to the situation
and that is why it becomes more difficult to find the correct option for you.
Basically there are two different leasing options, long term and month to
month. So having a good understanding about these options will make you to
choose the best option.
Long Term/Fixed term Lease
Normally a long term lease is having the minimum requirement
of 1 year which can be renewed prior few weeks to the lease expiration. And
apartments near colleges and campuses have this option for 9 months of time
which is basically one year of academic. This long term leases are the most
common leases because this offers cheaper monthly rentals compared to the month
to month leases. But if you break the contract at the middle you’ll be ended up
with large fine from the apartment complex.
Month –to-Month/Periodic Lease
The good side of this contract compared to the long term
lease is that this type of leases can be terminated at any point of the period
due to its flexibility because this requires less time of termination notice
and also it is self-renewing. But every good option has its bad sides;
therefore in here periodic lease is always coming with higher rent rate. But if
you are not so sure about your length of stay, the best option with a flexible
outcome will be month to month lease.
