Creative ways to profit from a rent overlap (as tennant)

Chico California · Member since 2023 · 5 posts · 0 votes

Hi, I am currently a college student renting and my lease date ends in the middle of August. The rent where I currently live is going to increase substantially so I am not renewing. My issue is that other places are cheaper, but all start leasing in June. I will have to pay an overlap of 2 monthly rents, and I know I can reduce the amount by subleasing or air bnb. Are there any other creative ways I can turn this into a profit?

Idk about turning a profit on it, but have you asked your current landlord if they can let you out of your lease early? If the rents have gone up substantially and you're going to be leaving soon anyways, I would think they'd be open to letting you out, so they can get it rented sooner.
