Hello I accepted a position in another state that doesn’t start until around November. The apartment I am staying in now is obligated at the end of the month. Basically I need short-term housing from August to around November. Do you have any ideas on the best sites to find short-term housing in Chicago? I don’t want to sign a lease so something month-to-month would be best.

I looked at Domu and while they have a temporary housing section, when you click on the available places, they look more like rentals that require a lease. When I went to craigslist, I saw a few places, but whenever I contacted the landlord or whatever no one gets back to me. I’m also worried that some of those places might not be legit.

The neighborhoods, I prefer are on the northside Andersonville, Lakeview, Rogers Park, Edgewater. But I’m open to anything.
I am willing to consider Evanston or Oak Park as well.
A studio or one bedroom would be fine.

I need to put my belongings in storage while I am overseas for about six months. I’m thinking Clutter would be a good option because they come and pick up your items, store them in climate control facility. You can schedule pick ups and deliveries, depending on which plan you buy.

The reviews online are mixed. But it looks like the Chicago Clutter facility has pretty decent feedback.

If not, I’m also willing to learn about any comparable storage companies within the city.

Our building is turning into condominiums. The real estate agents at the behest of the landlords are harassing the tenants in the building. We understand that they would like to show the building, but their treatment of us is downright disrespectful. They are also posting notices all over our cars and doors, despite us through other means of conversation, letting know that we understand what is going on. They have also obtained our phone numbers and send unwanted messages. This is also despite our telling them to speak directly with the tenant association attorney…

We feel that our home is no longer our home for the several months that we still have it.
