Alight Riverside
Hello. I'm looking for someone to take over my lease at Alight Riverside for the summer. I'll be graduating this Spring quarter, so you should be able to move in once the quarter ends. The lease ends 8/25/25. It's a two-unit floor plan, so you'll... only have one roommate, and since he's leaving for the summer, you'll have the entire place for yourself. The costs are Base Rent($1260)+Renter's Insurance($15)+Utilities($30-$50)=~$1350 a month.
Why should I take over this lease?
Two great features of this lease are its flexibility and convenience.
It's flexible because it's only a two-month stay. This means that you won't be locked in for an entire year, like many of the other lease offers on this subreddit, in case you don't like the place or your roommates. Furthermore, a lot of apartments around UCR don't like to offer summer housing because if you're going to stay with them, they'd like to lock you in for the whole year. Not only does this lease give you summer housing, but you can also immediately move out once the lease ends, in case you don't like the place or have found better housing elsewhere. If you do like the place, you can simply contact the leasing office, and they'll be more than happy to renew it for you.
It's also convenient because it's only a 2-minute drive to UCR, so you don't have to spend hours on the road just to get to class. The size of the bedroom is also quite large. Having lived in multiple campus residence halls and apartments, I would say your bedroom alone is about the size of a dorm room for two people. Did I also mention you get your restroom too? If you were to apply for summer housing at UCR, they'll stuff you in Lothian residence hall. Coming from a former resident who lived in Lothian for a year and a summer quarter, Lothian has several issues. You can't control the AC, so there may not be a whole lot you can do if your room starts to swelter in the summer heat. The windows also don't have mosquito nets, so enjoy bugs coming into your room. The restrooms and showers are also all communal, so enjoy dirty toilets and shower rooms for the summer.
Instead of having to deal with all of this in addition to a roommate you may or may not like if you were to pick summer housing at UCR, why not just have an entire apartment unit to yourself? You get your bedroom almost as big as the dorm rooms back on campus, your very own restroom that you can dictate the cleanliness of, and since your only roommate is leaving for the summer, you can bring over friends and do whatever you'd like without having to worry about any complaints. This lease is only for the summer, too, so if you don't like the place or just need some temporary summer housing, you can simply move out by the end of the lease.
