MIT lease takeovers: the landlord signs the new student onto the lease and the original tenant walks away clean. If the original tenant is coming back (summer, study abroad), that’s a sublease instead.

https://crashmates.com/massachusetts/cambridge/mitA lease takeover means you replace the original tenant entirely — the landlord signs you onto the lease and the original tenant walks away. Common when students are graduating mid-cycle, transferring schools, or moving abroad. Cleaner than subleases because there’s no middle-tenant, and usually 6-12 month terms.
