Before you sign a lease here

  • Ask for a 30-day or contract-cancellation clause. Cancellations are the costliest housing mistake travelers report.
  • Never pay by wire, Zelle or PayPal Friends & Family before you've seen the place or verified the host.
  • Working nights? Ask about blackout curtains, daytime noise, and parking that's safe at shift change.
  • Get deposit, utility and pet-fee terms in writing.
