Rental Lengths

How long are you wanting to rent in the Arlington, VA area? Here is a tip when trying to find a good rental property...

If you are wanting to stay a year+, I would recommend renting from a condominium owner. The condos are more unique compared to the cookie cutter apartment buildings, and usually has higher grade appliances and upgrades throughout. Most condominium buildings in the area require a minimum of a 1 year lease, so if you are looking for anything less, don't even bother (most don't let subletting either!)

If you are looking for a short term lease (maybe 3-6 months), apartment buildings are the way to go. They allow all lengths of leases, usually increasing the price, the shorter the lease is. These buildings usually also have more furnished options. This furniture is usually more standard furniture compared to a furnished condo which might have the owner's own taste represented through their decorations and furniture style.
