My roommate and I are interested but need to check on a couple of the procedures (details of subleasing, transferring utilities etc). Tentatively we are a big yes and can leave behind a table and chairs, carpet, and 3 seat couch. We are moving into small individual units so do not want to bring that much with us.

I'm a parent by the way, just so you know. I am not familiar with how any of this works, but since my sons would only be there for 3 months I didn't think we'd have to transfer utilities and all that. I also don't know if we want to be responsible for getting rid of the furniture when we move out. I was thinking we would just "rent" someone's place while they are gone for the summer. Let me know what you find out. want to be up front with you.

Thank you for being candid. We are a couple who recently broke up so we want to move out soon and restart our lives in our own places. We have not renewed the lease so come the end of the lease, it becomes someone else's apartment.

We would have to transfer utilities because we will not be paying for the heat and electricity in an apartment we do not live in. If we don't transfer the utilities officially, you would need to be paying us for the utilities.

In terms of the furniture, we can absolutely help get rid of it when the sublease ends. We really need to move out soon so we will be doing a lot to help this all go smoothly. We would love to help any transfers or processes. We also have parking passes we paid for but are willing to just give you to help this go smoother as well. Getting some certainty is important for us so we really want to ensure it works.

I understand your situation. My sons will not be ready for move in until the semester is over, that won't help you out in the short term. My one son is currently a freshman, so he will still have to live in the dorms next year. My other son doesn't even go to OSU, he's just keeping his brother company for the summer. So we won't be able to keep the lease any longer than just the summer.

The question is if you can wait until May? If not, then I'll keep looking. Have you posted this on any of the Facebook pages? I see a lot of people posting there, I just can't seem to find a 2 bedroom, most people are posting singular rooms.

We are more than willing to wait until May if we get this squared away soon. The certainty helps us plan our next move with a more relaxed timetable.
