Hey, isn't it nice that annual and monthly leases both exist, so you are the parent commenter's strongly held preferences are both met? This has been my experie

  Well, I'm not in the US, there are no monthly lease here. You really don't want to tell a landlord that you're unsure whether you'll be able to stay for year(s). I remember when I was a student. There were "student accommodations" that had sort of special terms. People usually stayed there for 3-6-12 months to fit with the university/internship/apprenticeship cycle. That was quite nice. I'm sad that can't have that as an adult. > I know that I have a guaranteed place to live for the next year or two. [I would not want to live without that guarantee]. I know that I have no guarantee to still have that job [or find another in the area] for a year or two. Thus I have no guarantee that I can stay in this place for the next year or two. I would like to live with the guarantee of having a job, and a revenue, and a place to stay, and a girlfriend, and many other things... The world doesn't care about what I'd like.
