Need a sublet? Find one that fits your dates.
Summer, one semester or a few months between leases. Submet matches you with sublets by your exact dates and budget, and every room gets a video tour so you know it's real.
What is a sublet?
A sublet (or sublease) is when someone who already rents a place lets you take their room or apartment for part of their lease. They usually plan to come back. Sublets are the easiest way to get short-term housing without signing a 12-month lease.
Need to leave for good instead? That's a lease takeover.
Who needs a sublet
- Students staying for summer classes or research
- Summer interns and co-ops
- Travel nurses and medical rotations
- College athletes in summer ball or off-season training
- Anyone whose new lease doesn't start yet
Why sublets go wrong
Fake listings, rooms that look nothing like the photos, and roommates you've never met. Submet fixes the big three: video room tours, verified profiles and a Vibe Check so you see who you'd be living with.

Furniture included
A lot of sublets come with the bed, desk and couch. On Submet, people can bundle their stuff with the room, so you don't have to buy furniture for three months.

Questions, answered
How do I find a sublet?
Set your dates, budget and city, then browse rooms that match. Message the person subletting, watch the video tour, and make sure the landlord has approved the sublet before you pay.
How long is a sublet?
Anywhere from a few weeks to the rest of a lease. Summer sublets usually run May to August.
Are sublets cheaper?
Often. People leaving for the summer would rather cover part of their rent than pay for an empty room, so summer sublets are frequently listed below normal rent.
Do I sign a lease for a sublet?
Usually you sign a sublease agreement with the person you're renting from, and the landlord approves it.
