Renting, especially on a short-term basis, can sometimes come with higher monthly costs due to the increased flexibility it offers the landlord. For instance, a studio apartment for rent on a month-to-month basis might be more expensive per month than the same apartment under a lease agreement.
If you plan to stay long-term, two-year will be much cheaper a decade or more down the line (compound interest, and the two-year increases are always less than double the one-year increases). But you might want the flexibility of a one-year lease or just don't plan to stay long enough for it to be worthwhile.
Month-to-Month Leases Renters can expect the monthly rent rate to be much higher than that of a fixed-term lease. However, renting month-to-month gives you the flexibility to move out with far less notice than with other lease types.
The lowest rental rates are usually found between October and April, particularly right after the December holiday season. Fewer people are interested in moving—the weather's bad, schools are in session, etc. So individuals renting between the months of December and March typically find the best rental bargains.
Longer leases are best for situations where you and any roommates know you want to stay in the apartment for a year or more. Ideally, you're already familiar with the neighborhood and have a stable work or school situation. Shorter leases or month-to-month leases are better for renters who need a bit more flexibility.
To Landlords out there - how long do you prefer to lease to tenants? Most landlords prefer 1 year leases, at least to start off with. Some landlords don't mind long term leases or even prefer it. A tenant who becomes extremely difficult despite having good references and prior rental history is very much a possibility.
