Apartments with short term leases?

I am looking for apartments with a 9 month lease starting next fall since I wont be at school in the summer. However, every apartment I’ve looked at only has 12 month leases. I am also not attracted to the idea of subleasing over the summer since whoever ends up staying at my apartment could end up damaging it, not pay rent, or somehow acquiring a bunch of fines. Are there any good apartments with short term leases that don’t up charge a ridiculous amount on the rent?
