How flexible are move-in and move-out dates?

Often we are quite flexible. Depending on length of stay, unit type, or current apartment availability, we may ask you to start your lease or end your lease just a bit later ask if you are ok with a certain unit type in a building rather than a specific unit, or put you on a waitlist . Due to local city short-term rental licensing regulations in Madison, we are only licensed for stays of 30 days or more at several of our properties.

We are quite flexible on lease end dates, and even offer month-to-month options.
