Leasing By the Room
Most of the summer apartments rent by the room. You benefit from the rent by the room lease as you are not financially responsible for the other people living in your apartment. If your roommates experience a financial situation where they are unable to pay their rent or moves out, it has not impact on your credit or living situation. You have the peace of mind of not having to find and fill any empty rooms.
Of course you can select a one-bedroom summer housing option like a studio or 1 bedroom. In that case, then you are your favorite and possibly least favorite roommate.
Roommate Matching
For the summer Downtown Chicago apartments, most properties offer roommate matching. While you have the option to select a private or shared room based on your preferences, you also can benefit from indicating your roommate preferences so you live with people who can get along with your habits.
You can indicate your roommate preferences like:
- Night owl or early bird
- Smoking or non-smokers
- Living with pets
- Noisy or quiet habits
- Hosting friends often or not many visitors
- Levels of cleanliness
- How often they cook
These kinds of questions help the leasing team match you with the most like-minded room/housemates. Plus you may be living with your new best friends.
