Whether you need a place for just the summer or want to take over a lease for the whole year, understanding the difference is key.
You temporarily rent the space from the original tenant. Ideal for short-term stays like summer internships or a single semester.
You completely take over the remainder of the lease. Ideal if you need housing for the rest of the academic year.
You are studying abroad for one semester, doing a summer internship in a new city, or just need a place for a few months before graduating.
You transferred schools mid-year, decided to move out of the dorms, or need a permanent place for the rest of the year without the hassle of a sublet agreement.
