What lease terms do Austin apartments offer?
Typical leases for apartments and condos in Austin run from 6 months to 12 months or more. Many properties will offer you a lower rental rate if you sign a 12 month rather than a 6 month lease and this can really add up over the course of a year. Lease terms of less than 6 months are offered by about 5% of the apartment properties in Austin. Expect to pay a premium of $150-300 per month above the yearly rental rate for a short term lease. As an example, the least expensive one bedroom apartment options we can usually find for a 3 month lease term in Austin start at about $750-900/mo.
