Deciding whether to choose between a short-term lease vs. long-term lease can be important, yet difficult due to several factors including pricing, new work location, waiting on a home to be built, or even waiting for the apartment you want to become available.
With the increasing demand for housing in the Dallas / Fort Worth and the surrounding areas such as Lewisville, Plano, Euless, and Grapevine, many people are finding it difficult to find the perfect apartment or home available on such short notice. During these situations, short-term leases can be beneficial even with the temporarily increased cost of renting. Some apartments have leasing options for not only 1 year, but 6 months, 3 months, and on occasion month-to-month apartment rentals. Long-term apartment leases however can reduce the stress caused by higher monthly rent costs, prevent rapidly recurring moving costs and more.
Is a Short Term Lease Right For You?

Choosing a Long-Term Lease for the Benefits
Making long-term commitments can be helpful.
If you’re starting to feel like a short-term lease isn’t for you, the traditional long-term lease of one year, which generally equates to about thirteen months can offer a better moving solution for you and your family. By choosing a full one-year apartment lease, you can reap quite a few financial benefits as well as gain some extra stability in your life. Without the hassle of moving multiple times a year and paying hundreds in mover costs you can also enjoy lower rental costs of up to 50% off what you would be paying on a month-to-month basis.
Long-term rentals have one more great benefit to the renter when they sign their lease and add Apartment Locating Specialists as their referral: Up to 6 weeks off in rental costs. We specialize in finding apartments that have specials when you lease through an agency like ourselves. You save 2 to 6 weeks of rent payments at the beginning and the apartment company thanks us with a small payment for assisting in filling their vacancies. This helps both you and us in finding you an apartment that you’ll love, while saving money. This is called a win-win-win.
