How Westchester-Area Renewals Typically Work

Westchester buildings close to campus often send renewal notices with a modest increase already built in, especially for units near LMU's shuttle route. Playa del Rey's coastal units tend to see steeper increases given consistent demand. Ask early what your building's typical annual increase has looked like historically.

Lease Renewal Tips for LMU Students

Practical lease renewal tips for LMU students start with comparing your renewal rate against current listings for similar units in Westchester or nearby Culver City, since switching sometimes costs less than an aggressive increase once you factor in move-in specials. Ask about locking in a longer lease term for a better rate, and request any outstanding maintenance be addressed before you commit to another year. Confirm your building's shuttle access hasn't changed, since that can affect whether renewing still makes sense for your commute.
