Summer & Winter Term Housing
Since the University of Maryland is a well-
known research university in close vicinity to
Washington DC, many people find
themselves in need of housing for a summer
class or internship. Many of the local summer
housing options will be a sublease or sublet
from a current, lease-holding student.
A sublease is generally used when a tenant is
leaving a unit with no intention to return. The
current tenant is seeking a new tenant to
assume the remainder of the current lease. A
sublet is generally used when a tenant is
leaving a unit for a specific period of time but
plans to return. The current tenant is renting
the unit to someone else for a stated time
period.

Rental Announcement Bulletin Board
Our rental announcement bulletin board is
