Non-Student Apartments Tallahassee, FL

Non-Student Apartments

Tallahassee is known by many as a college town, so it can seem difficult to find non-student Tallahassee apartments with so many student housing options around town. However, it's also a wonderful place for families and professionals alike. With different lifestyles, needs and living preferences than a student, it's important to carefully evaluate the apartment style, amenities and features you'd most like to see in your new home. Communities cannot and do not discriminate among their renters, meaning that they're unable to advise you on whether the community may be a good fit for you based on your age. So, it's up to you to do your research and use your instincts during your search.

One of the most important things to consider when looking for non-student apartments in Tallahassee is the lease type that'll best fit your needs.

More common in non-student communities is the joint lease, also known as a lease for "the entire apartment".

A joint lease is ideal for families and professionals who want to rent the entire apartment, or a group of close friends hoping to save on rent by splitting the costs and responsibilities.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are non-student apartments in Tallahassee cheaper?

In non-student apartments you will be billed for water, electric, internet, and cable separately from the monthly rent you agree to on your lease. In student housing, some or all of these extras will be bundled in the monthly rent listed already. So YES, the base rent at non-student apartments in Tallahassee will be lower than all-inclusive student housing communities, but you will potentially have higher bills outside of the regular monthly rent.

How can I tell which apartments are for non-students?

A guaranteed way to tell which apartments are for non-students is to look at the amenities and features offered by the apartment. For example, student properties typically offer student-perks like all-inclusive rent, by-the-bedroom leases, and roommate matching programs. If you're looking for non-student apartments, avoid features like this during your search for a Tallahassee apartment.

If I'm not a student, can I still live at a student housing community?

Many of the student housing properties in Tallahassee will allow anyone to lease as long as you qualify, regardless of whether or not you attend a local college or university. Be prepared though, these off campus student housing communities will have a student lifestyle, which might mean extra noise on gameday or a clubhouse that is busy with students studying and hanging out. As a non-student, you might also have trouble with things like sharing a common area with other students and roommate matching.
