If both of you aren't on the lease, alternate between the two of you. At least you won't have to move very far. When I was just out of school I did this in a large complex with my wife more than once (we had different last names and used her parents address for mail). The first time, we didn't even have to move, because she got the pick of open apartments... one of which was ours. We worried they would want to paint it, but I guess since I'd only had a it a year, they didn't bother. The Sales person was happy because they got commission anyway, and we got a free months rent rather than paying an extra month's rent in increases.
