I am currently a student at Florida Gulf Coast University but will be graduating in the spring of 2012 with a degree in resort and hospitality management. I have lined up a job in Seaside that I will be starting this May. I am looking to get myself a one bedroom in the area because I do not know anyone yet. After doing some searching I noticed that most one bedrooms that I have liked go for around 700-900. I am just unsure if I can afford that for 12 months and that is where my question comes in. Has anyone ever heard of landlords/owners dropping rent during the off season months even on a 12 month lease? Ex: may-aug $750 sept-April $500....
