 ===== Lease Schedule =====
@@ Line 7: / Line 9: @@
 Most houses and apartments in Davis are leased on a year-to-year basis. Leases typically begin September 1 and end August 31. To ensure you'll have your pick of places to live, begin your search in March or April if you'll be coming in the fall. If you're coming during the summer ask about options to sublease and start your lease early. Often you'll get a discount on the rent for the summer months for doing this and you won't have to move twice.

-===== Cost Varying Details =====
-Housing in Davis varies along a few important dimensions, including type, quality, location, and price. Distance from campus and condition of the house interact in determining price: the price decreases as you get further away from campus, but increases as you get into the newer and nicer homes (which tend to be built further away). A better predictor of price may be neighborhood. Davis has no "bad" neighborhoods, but homes in West Davis (west of Route 113), North Davis (north of Covell Road), and South Davis (south of Interstate 80) tend to be more expensive than those in East Davis (east of the Southern Pacific Railroad tracks) or in Central Davis (the middle).
