How subleasing works

Sublease vs. lease takeover.

A sublease is when an existing tenant lets you live in their place for part of their lease term. They stay on the lease; you pay them. A lease takeover is the opposite: you replace them on the lease and deal with the landlord yourself. Need a place for a few months? Sublease. Want the lease in your name? Look at lease takeovers on your campus page.

Spring is peak sublease season in Memphis: study abroad, co-ops and December grads free up rooms for a single term, and summer sublets get posted before finals.

How much does a sublease cost in Memphis?

You usually pay the original tenant's share of the rent — sometimes less, if they're trying to fill a summer gap fast. For a benchmark: HUD’s FY2027 Fair Market Rents around Memphis campuses put a one-bedroom between $910/month (ZIP 38126, near Le Moyne-Owen College) and $1,600 (ZIP 38103, near Visible Music College), utilities included. Splitting a two-bedroom with a roommate runs about $500–$875 each, depending on the area.

How do I find a sublease in Memphis?

What's the difference between a sublease and a lease takeover?
In a sublease, the original tenant stays on the lease and you pay them for part of their term — common for summers, a study-abroad semester or an internship. In a lease takeover, you replace them on the lease entirely and deal with the landlord directly. If you need a place for a few months, sublease. If you want the lease in your name, take it over.
Is subleasing allowed in Memphis?
It depends on the lease, not the city. Most leases require the landlord's written consent before you sublet, and some ban it outright. Check the subletting clause in the lease and get the landlord's OK in writing before anyone moves in or pays.
When do Memphis students post subleases?
Two big waves: late fall, when students lock in spring study abroad and co-ops, and March–April, when summer sublets go up before finals. Post early in either window and you'll have the most people looking.
Does it cost anything to sublease through Crashmates?
