<p>I’m a current freshman at OSU and I just found out I received a job at a company in Downtown Columbus. I am OOS, so this means I will need to find an apartment that will allow me to move in the first week of June. I would prefer to live somewhere around campus, but it seems everywhere I look the leases do not begin until August. Does anyone know of any reputable landlords that will allow me to start a year long lease starting June. The max rent is between 5-600$, and I have a siberian husky puppy so any place that allows pets is good. Thanks!</p>
<p>You are more likely to find an apartment to sublet for the summer period, and then move into your own apartment at the normal lease-start time. A huge number of people who live off-campus will be looking to sublet their apartments when they go home for the summer, or go to work somewhere else, so you should be able to find a place through word of mouth or facebook. </p>
<p>Since the places you may move into are already leased to others, you really can’t get a lease that starts earlier than the current tenant’s lease ends. </p>
<p>Also, while I know some rental companies allow pets for an additional deposit or extra rent, you may not find it worth the cost to keep a pet here.</p>
