Housing guidance for travel nurses in Memphis, from matching a lease to a contract length to planning for an extension.
Apartment Guide for Travel Nurses in Memphis
Leasing around a 13-week contract, an agency, and the possibility of an extension.
A standard lease and a 13-week contract are not naturally compatible. That mismatch is the whole problem, and it is worth solving before you apply rather than after.
Ask about term before anything else
Term options vary by unit and by property. Tell us your contract length and whether an extension is likely, and we will tell you plainly what is workable. What we will not do is let you sign a twelve-month lease for a three-month assignment without flagging it.
Agency and stipend documentation
- Your contract, showing assignment dates and location
- Agency contact details
- Documentation of any housing stipend arrangement
- Government photo ID
- Prior rental history, including other assignment cities
Furnished or not
Ask what is currently available rather than assuming either way. If a unit is unfurnished, price the cost of furnishing it for a short assignment before deciding it is the cheaper option.

Frequently asked questions
Do you have short-term leases?
Ask us — it varies by unit. We would rather tell you the truth before you apply.
What if my contract extends?
Tell us as early as you can. Extending is usually easier to arrange with notice than at the last moment.
Can my agency be billed directly?
Ask before the lease starts. Arrangements need to be agreed in advance.
