What is Pre-Leasing?
We’ve all moved before, and normally you just rent as soon as the apartment is available, right? Not quite. To put it simply, pre-leasing is just leasing way in advance. There’s really no difference other than that.
When Does Pre-Leasing Start?
Pre-leasing can start as soon as November for the fall semester (August). This means that your best time to start your search for housing is in October-November, and the best time to sign is before December. (If you’re reading this it's NOT too late!)
How Do I Start My Search?
Decide location, find houses or apartment communities in the area, click the link to schedule a tour. It’s understandable that not everyone is able to tour before signing but making sure that you can see the apartment you’re signing for before moving in is always a good idea.
How Does it Work Once I Find a Place?
Just like regular leasing, it all begins with talking about your expected move-in date and how much you want to pay for an apartment. Once you sign your lease for the apartment and pay whatever security deposit there may be, it’s peace of mind from there on.
