When Charleston sublets open up
Charleston has a big student population, so the market moves with the school calendar. Many student leases near campus run August to July. That means two busy seasons: summer sublets (May to August) when students leave town, and lease takeovers in spring when people graduate, transfer or move.
Who's on Submet in Charleston
Students at the College of Charleston, Charleston Southern, The Citadel, MUSC, Trident Tech and Charleston School of Law, plus summer interns, travel nurses, new grads and athletes in summer ball or off-season training.
