More Rental Options

Finding Short-Term Apartments for Rent in Dallas, TX

A short-term rental is any apartment that has a lease that's shorter than the typical 12-months. Apartments that offer traditional 12-month leases may also offer short-term lease options, so you should always inquire with your prospective landlord about lease length.

Generally, short-term rentals in Dallas are intended as a stop-gap for renters who prefer not to commit to a long-term lease.

What Are the Pros and Cons of Short-Term Rentals in Dallas?

Pros:

• Added Flexibility: Short-term lease agreements free renters from the commitment of a year-long lease, allowing you to move after a few months without incurring extra fees.

• Explore a New Area: If you’re moving to a new state and want to get to know the area before making a long-term commitment to a home, a short-term rental is a great option. It’ll also give you a great opportunity to search for jobs in the area and attend interviews in-person.

• Furnished Apartments: Short-term apartments often come furnished. This will save you the hassle of moving furniture when you move in and when your lease term is up.

Cons:

• More Expensive: Short-term rentals will almost always have more expensive monthly rent than a 12-month lease. This is because landlords have to offset the loss of 12 full months of rent and the time it takes to find another renter when you end your lease.

• Harder to Find: Short-term leases are hard to find because they aren’t as lucrative as long-term rentals and generally cause landlords more hassle. Set aside plenty of time to find a short-term rental before making your move.

• Moving More Often: Shorter leases means moving more often. Moving costs can add up quickly, and moving is generally a stressful experience. Not to mention, you’ll have to apartment hunt all over again.

• Can Negatively Impact Credit: If you rent multiple short-term rentals in a short period, each hard pull on your credit can negatively impact your credit score.
