Learn About Temporary Housing Washington DC Travelers

By Kenneth Green


If you must travel in your job you know the need for short-term housing is important. You want more than what an expensive hotel or motel has to offer, and you also want to save money and stay within your budget. Finding affordable short term housing can be a challenge. Here is what to look for in your search for temporary housing Washington DC travelers.

Finding affordable housing is always a challenge. We want to stay within our budget yet we don't want to skimp on the amenities either. We enjoy comfort and security in our housing needs and when you are searching for short term leasing you should seek options that offer the most for the money.

Finding units that are fully furnished with all the comforts of home such as cookware, linens, utensils, dinnerware and towels can be a benefit to you. You do not have to supply these things yourself and this can save you money over the cost of the rental. If you are only planning on staying in the unit for a year or less this saves you the hassle of having to move your own furnishings and supplies around each time you travel to a different location.

When inquiring about a temporary rental ask if the utilities are included in the rental price. This can save you a lot of money as many rental agencies include the cost of providing you with utilities so you do not have to open an account in your name. Also ask what other features the unit offers such as swimming pool, cable or Wi-Fi. These can be added bonuses if you are looking for some down time or need to get some work done.

If you can try to be centrally located within the city and near your place of employment. This will save valuable commute time and if you are not familiar with your location it saves on the stress of trying to navigate the entire city. If possible use public transit systems to make your way around and save on the cost of gas and other transportation expenses.

Ask about the terms of the lease before you sign. Many rental companies prefer for tenants to sign a one-year lease in order to be able to rent an apartment or home, but if you only need to rent the unit for three months negotiate with the rental company about providing you with month to month lease terms. You may be able to work out a solution with the landlord when it comes to renting the unit.

In many larger cities, short term housing is difficult to find as many are beginning to use this option for their housing needs. You may need to seek the services of a real estate agent or rental company to find units that may be available in the area. These agencies will be able to direct you on where to look and what the costs are associated with each area.

In your search, you want to ensure that you have adequate security for your temporary residence. Inquire whether the area is safe and whether or not crime is a problem in the area. Ask the rental agency what type of security they have for the units and if the apartment or home has security features such as an alarm system or dead bolt locks.
