<p>Leases do run for a year, so you get stuck with some summer months. My daughter’s leases have run from August to August. I would have liked June to June better. Just something to look at. If you have not already bought it, the insurance for college kids is cheap. It also covers electronics and has a low deductible. CSI is one company? Our household insurance covered my daughter’s belongings when her apartment was robbed ( North Oakland), but the student insurance covered her phone when she soaked it.</p>
