recommendations on getting a 2 month lease on apartment somewhere? - GoFuckYourself.com

kush · 09-09-2009, 07:07 AM

What would you guys do if you wanted to try living a new area for 2 months to be close to somebody, and you needed a secure place to live with all the regular apartment amenities and fast internet (for running an internet business), but only a 2 month commitment?

Are those extended stay hotels any good? Are there any other options besides just finding a random classified sublease online?

thanks...

you should be able to find a place via craigslist. i see many people lookin for short periods.

though if you do not find it morally wrong, you could just rent a place from someone on a month to month. move in and at the last day of the first month, give your 30 day notice.

craigslist will be the best option.

phone around, it doesn't hurt to ask, alot of places, depending on the area, will rent without a longterm lease, they usually want first and last month rent paid up front though

You could also try looking for vacation rentals. They would probably give you a deal on a longer commitment as opposed to the typical weekly commitments they get.

Great ideas... thanks. For just 2 months prepaying would be fine... although from my experience when you prepay you don't always get the best service throughout the duration.

There's lots of cool options:

I've got a 3 month rental on the NH seacoast starting Oct. 1. During the peak season, these places rent to tourists for a few grand a week, but off season, you can get an amazing deal and still enjoy the beach and the stunning fall foliage.

If it's "off season" where you're heading, look for any hot tourist spots and see if you can strike a deal over a room. Most of these places advertise online.
