Does anyone know of any good places with 5-6 month leases?  I need a single, cheap, as close to downtown as possible.

Check Heritage Suites.  It's at Prospect and E22 and had short term leases available last time I checked.

is this job related?  If so can you office help?  If not they also maybe able to help with "temp" assistance.  Check with your HR and I would suggest calling some buildings you like.  In this economy, I would be a leasing agent is willing to be flexible/creative.

I think Reserve Square does short-term rentals.

though their units are in the $700 a month range.  That being said, they are all brand new and pretty nice.

 

I would second checking out heritage suites, probably pretty ideal given your criteria.  Plus during the nice weather months, you could walk over to Euclid and 18th and have access to the trolley.  I believe units start there at $450 a month for efficiencies, and they definitely do 6 month leases.

 

of course you may want to stretch your search out to ohio city or tremont.  For example, there is this pretty fantastic (in my opinion) studio in ohio city for $550 (including free parking).  And given it's location I think you'd have tons of transit options.

Thanks for all the suggestions.  My lease is up and my roomate wants his own place now.  Me too, but I hadn't planned on getting one quite yet.  I graduate in 4 months, take the bar exam in 6 months.  After that I may need to be mobile.

Is downtown the only place you're interested in living?

No, but everything I do is downtown.  So good transit access helps me as much as anything.

Have you thought about SS, OC/Tre, LI/MH?

All of them.  SS seems a bit pricey for my immediate situation.  I'll be looking a lot more there in 6 months, assuming I'm still in Cleveland.

in the meantime... don't quit your dayjob.  My sister in law could wallpaper her apartment with rejection letters and she is a practicing attorney with 6 years experience. And it's not a cleveland thing.  She is to the point she is applying everywhere and anywhere.  "Hiring Freeze" is the word of the year.

Tell me about it.  I have to "let somone go" in T minus 70 minutes.  ugh..........

It is scary right now.  My day job is at a law firm, and I need to quit posting on here so much and do some paperwork.

LOL.

 

You better hope HR doesn't call you first thing in the AM or 5 min before quitting time!

We don't have HR, but yes that would mean ominous tidings for anybody.

Because I just got an offer, I thought I should post that my situation changed and I no longer need a short-term place.  Thanks to everyone for the advice and info.

Good for you.  Congrats.

It's more of a crisis aversion than a victory, but thank you.  The offer was for a short term apartment not a job.  Still working on that.  My roommate had been wanting to leave, with me having 3 months of school left, because I don't do enough dishes.  So I'm doing more dishes.  Can't afford this place by myself.

thats an example of why I don't think I could live with anyone ever again.

My roommate my first year at arizona state NEVER cleaned his side of the room. Had bowls stacked 15 high, trash all over his desk and bed, and a half gallon of milk that had expired in february still in his fridge when he cleaned it out in May. Was absolutely disgusting.

I would have killed him!  Thank God I only spent one year in a dorm, then we got a house.  It was more economical.

I had a roommate like that in college briefly.  He eventually started staying up all night and sleeping all day...he dropped out after a semester.

I know this is getting WAAAY off topic, but these stories underscore the political conservative hiding deep within me. A lot of these lazy roommates go on to live lazy lives and, too often, end up on government assistance. I understand that there needs to be a cushion for when people fall on hard times through no fault of their own. But how do you tell the difference? I believe lazy people deserve to be hungry, homeless and hopeless and I refuse to pay for them.

Geez, all I did was fall behind on dishes!

That'll learn ya!
