general UCR housing question

<p>i want to live off campus, because on campus apartments are expensive. so how early should i start looking for a place? or should i wait till july, august right before school starts?</p>

<p>can i just make a deposit now, then move in when school starts in september?</p>

<p>I’m putting up a room for rent close to the university. Let me know if you are interested</p>
