Short Term Rent

tntcoder · 8 Oct 2007 at 15:02

Hi,

I'm looking at doing an internship next summer for a period of around 9-13 weeks, It will be around 2-3 hours drive from where i live so driving isn't an option. What other options do i have when it comes to short term property rent? Are there many landlords that will offer a 3 month contract? any other options worth looking at?

Thanks a lot,

Jack

Have you tried local uni halls? my housemate did an internship in london and stayed in halls for 7-8 weeks.

I stayed in halls over the summer in Dublin - no students about so they let them out.

Yeah, halls is pretty much the only option, unless you want to spend loads. You can get short term rentals, but the rents tend to be a lot more than for long term rentals, so it's not really worth bothering with.

Try the local papers from the area - you can usually get them delivered to your house for a charge. I managed to get a really nice place for no more than the long-term rate by going through the local papers.

Im on a 3 month contract but I was only able to do it because my brother rents with him and we said we would get someone else in afterwards, most landlords tend to have a 6 month min contract

6 month min is the normal agreement. Landlords are human, and I have personally had two short stay tenants. Do a google for easyroommate.

Would not a room be better?
