According to the school's local house-hunting habits, market supply, and individual needs, the time to start house-hunting varies for each school. And the start time is different for new students and returning students. For new students, they usually start to pay attention to renting houses after obtaining the school admission notice or confirmation to study in the local area, usually in April and May. We suggest that students formally apply for and sign for an apartment after receiving the I20 form. There are also a lot of new students who will come to the United States in advance and decide to sign up after seeing the apartment on site. Old students, that is returning students, the time they look for housing is more spread across the year. Old students in some schools usually start to sign for a house for the next academic year in the first semester (fall), but most of the old students usually start looking for houses in the spring semester.

The most typical student apartment lease period is generally 12 months, starting in August or September and ending in July or August of the following year. A small number of apartments offer semester leases (5 months or 6 months), 10-month leases (end at the end of May of the following year), or leases that end in July and August (no limit on the start time). More often the case, for a lease period of less than 12 months, the apartment will charge an additional monthly short-term rental fee, ranging from $30-100 dollars per month.

Try not to. It is best to move in directly after arriving in the United States. Then, the closer the school starts, the higher the rent, and there is no good housing left around the school. Therefore, students, please decide the time you sign according to your actual situation.
