I'm looking to relocate to Dallas from the UK and I'm hoping you might have some advice. What is 'normal' for a tenancy length for renting an apartment or town house? In the UK it's 12 months. Do you typically pay q premium for shorter terms or monthly rolling contracts? I'm looking for stability but also risk signing a lease in case my company recalls me.

12-15 months, it will be more expensive to do a short term rental, at least with a managed apartment complex. You can get out of lease early though, typical terms to break a lease are paying 2 months rent as an early termination fee

Yeah I’ve broken leases before and you just give notice and pay the fee. Not the end of the world

6 month is pretty available le everywhere but you'll pay a little more.

Breaking lease is do-able in managed complexes you'll just have to pay a bit to get out

Normally it is 12 months. But everything in real estate is negotiable. I’ve seen 6 months as well but of course for a higher price. I’m also a realtor in DFW area. Would love to help you locate your place.

Also be aware that your credit score won't travel with you, so you may need to provide some additional documents with lease (proof of ibcome/employment), etc. There'll be ways to resolve but they also might want a higher deposit as you don't have any local credit history
