This can be helpful if you are unsure of future plans, the exact length of your stay, or if you want to try out different communities before making a bigger commitment.

    Benefits of Apartments with Short Term Leases in Tampa, FL

    One of the key benefits of Tampa apartments with short term leases is the freedom from fees associated with breaking an annual contract. While annual contracts are great for residents who need a stable monthly rent, other residents would prefer the liberty to move out on short notice due to other commitments. Breaking an annual contract before it is up can often include large fees, like two or three months of rent. Each leasing office in Tampa apartments will have different rules, specifications, and requirements listed in their contract, so make sure to review the fine print before deciding on your new place. You can decide if the benefits outweigh any cons of signing a short term lease. If you're worried about making your new place comfortable and personalized during your short stay, this Pinterest board will help you find ways to decorate Tampa apartments without causing any damage to walls or floors.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What is a short term apartment lease in Tampa?

    Typically, a short term lease lasts six months or less. You can find apartment homes that offer leases for 1, 3, 6, and 9 months or even month to month options. Short term leases are great if you know you are going to need to relocate within a year either for work or if you're simply looking to consider a community before moving more permanently.

    Why do short term leases in Tampa cost more?

    In order to get an apartment ready for a brand new renter, there are costs associated with prepping the apartment home so it's ready to go for the next resident. This typically includes cleaning, carpet steaming, painting, and other repairs. Apartments incorporate this cost into their monthly rate and need to account for this in short term leases as well. If you plan to rent your apartment for less than 12-months, the cost to prepare your apartment for the next resident and market the apartment once again needs to be incorporated. Depending on the lease length you choose, the community, and availability, short term premiums will differ so shop around. Be sure to ask the leasing agent about short term premiums if you are looking for a shorter apartment stay.

    The Tampa apartment I want has no short term leases available. Why is that?

    It's common for apartment communities in Tampa to have a cap on the number of short-term leases they are allowed to offer. At certain times of year, like May and June, there may be more availability. This is especially true for apartments that are geared more towards students near USF as this is a popular move out time. Be patient, and call a few apartment communities to ask their availability for short term leases.

    What questions should I ask apartments with short term leases in Tampa?

    Once you've identified a few communities that fit your short term specifications, it is a good idea to call the leasing office and discuss details of these features. Ask about fluctuations in rent fees in short term leases and how much of a price difference you can expect if you're only renewing a contract every three months at your Tampa apartment. Confirm that you can sign a contract for your intended length of stay and discuss any fees that may be associated with moving out even earlier than you intended. This can help you plan and budget for the future in case something unexpected comes up during your stay at Tampa apartments with short term leases.
