Near Monmouth, we usually see properties being rented for either the &#8220;winter season&#8221; or the &#8220;summer season.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Students will more often find apartments with leases that run from the first week of September until the second or third week in May. When students are looking to rent a unit for just the academic year, this works out quite well. Students who are searching for a <strong>year-round rental<\/strong> may have to spend some extra time finding an available unit.<\/p>\n<h3>Searching for winter rentals<\/h3>\n<p>The best time to begin your search for a winter rental is during the spring semester before you intend to move in.\u00a0 If you wait until July or August you may miss out on a number of possible leads. With that in mind, it doesn&#8217;t pay to procrastinate.<\/p>\n<h3>Searching for summer rentals<\/h3>\n<p>There aren&#8217;t a lot of Monmouth students who decide to rent an apartment during the summer, because they tend to be very expensive. \u00a0Students should be able to find a number of summer rental leads if they begin their search during the early part of the spring semester (late January and February).<\/p>\n<h3>Searching for year-round rentals<\/h3>\n<p>Unlike the seasonal rentals, a year-round unit can become available during any month of the year. If your intended move in date is September, you should begin your search no later than July.<\/p>\n<h3>Searching for short term or monthly rentals<\/h3>\n<p>The Office of Off-Campus and Commuter Services <strong>rarely<\/strong> receives any short-term listings, so students who are searching for a monthly rental will need to aggressively pursue any and all leads to find a unit in this category<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The rental market near Monmouth University is somewhat different when compared to other college and university communities. \u00a0Since the campus is located 1 mile from the beach, most of the apartments tend to fall into the category of &#8220;seasonal rentals.&#8221; A seasonal property is typically rented out more than one time within a calendar year.
