About lease takeovers
What are lease takeovers on Crashmates?
A 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.
Joining is free, posting is free, and matching is free. You only spend a credit to send the first message in a new conversation. After that, the entire conversation is free for both people.
