The Degree UNLV furnished lease takeover: what the listings include

If you are searching for The Degree UNLV furnished lease takeover options, you are probably weighing whether stepping into someone else's lease in Las Vegas is quicker or cheaper than signing a new one. This guide covers two things we can stand behind: what students wrote about The Degree in a local housing group this week, and the fields on the listings on our site whose titles name The Degree. Where we do not have a fact, we leave it out. You can see every current option on our Las Vegas off-campus listings page, and below we go through three listings that name The Degree.

A note on what this guide does not cover. We do not hold walk times, ride times, bus routes or amenity lists for these listings. Each listing does carry a Distance by Car field that the lister fills in, in broad bands such as under 5 minutes, and we quote that field where it helps.

The listings that name The Degree in their titles are Take over my 2026/27 lease - The Degree at $967/month, The Degree at $1,105/month for a two bedroom, and The Degree Room 1509B (5th floor) at $1,100/month.

What Students and Our Listings Show About The Degree

Between October 12 and 16, 2026, The Degree came up in 10 student posts in a local Las Vegas housing group. In those posts, students quoted rents of $799, $945, $1,100, $1,105 and $1,120. The layouts they mentioned were described as "2 bed", "2bedroom" and "4-bedroom", and the amenities named in those posts were fitness, furnished, gym, parking, pool, private bath, private bathroom and study room. That list is what students wrote, not a description we can confirm, so ask the lister about any amenity that matters to you before you rely on it.

Across the whole group that week, 22 posts were analyzed, and the median rent per person that students quoted was $824, taken from 17 dollar amounts in their posts. That median is not our listing data and not a market rate. Compared with the baseline across the school groups we track, the posts leaned toward pets (23% of posts), furnished places (41%), utilities included (14%) and roommate searches (41%). The floor plans named most often were 2 bedroom (6 posts) and 2b2b (4).

That is the full extent of the student information we hold. We cannot tell you what a typical lease takeover at The Degree costs, how often one comes up, or what is included beyond what each listing states.

The Degree UNLV Furnished Lease Takeover: What the Listings Include

Here is what each listing for The Degree UNLV furnished lease takeover search actually says. All three are marked furnished and all three show a Distance by Car of under 5 minutes. Take over my 2026/27 lease - The Degree is the one whose title says outright that it is a takeover. It lists one bedroom and one bathroom at $967/month on a year lease (12 months), with a lease timing of Jun 2026 - July 2027.

The listing titled The Degree is a two bedroom, two bathroom apartment at $1,105/month. Its lease timing reads Aug to Dec 2026 and its lease type field reads 11, so ask the lister to explain the term. The Degree Room 1509B (5th floor) lists one bedroom and one bathroom at $1,100/month on a year lease, with a lease timing of Aug 2027 - Dec 2027, which is well into next year. None of the three is marked as rent by room, so ask each lister whether the price is for a room or the whole unit.

Only the first listing's title mentions taking over a lease, but any of them could involve stepping into an existing lease, so ask each lister directly whether you would be taking over their lease, signing a new one, or subletting from them. The answer changes who you pay and who is responsible if something goes wrong.

Tips for a Furnished Lease Takeover in Las Vegas

• Ask to see the original lease, including the end date, monthly rent and any fees, and confirm the landlord approves the takeover in writing.

• Get a written list of the furniture that comes with the unit and photograph its condition on the day you move in.

• Ask whether the price is for one room or the whole unit, and whether utilities, internet or parking are included.

• Request the exact unit details and map the route to class yourself rather than relying on the Distance by Car band.

A little background on how takeovers usually work helps you ask better questions. In a lease takeover, the lease is normally transferred into your name, which usually needs the landlord's approval and may carry a transfer fee. In a sublease, the original tenant often stays on the lease and you pay them, so if either of you misses a payment, both of you can be affected. The words used in a listing title are not always precise, so confirm which arrangement you are being offered.

Furnished units raise their own questions. Ask whether the furniture belongs to the landlord or to the outgoing tenant, because furniture that belongs to the outgoing tenant may leave with them. Ask what happens to any damage deposit, since in a takeover the deposit is sometimes handled between the two tenants rather than by the landlord. Keep every answer in writing.

Timing matters too. Read the lease timing on each listing carefully, because one listing here starts in 2026 and another does not start until August 2027. Make sure the dates match your own plans before you commit, and ask whether a renewal is possible at the end of the term.

Before you start messaging, decide your limits: the most you can pay each month, whether you need a private bathroom, how long a lease you can sign, and when you need to move in. With those settled, you can compare these listings and any others in Las Vegas side by side and act quickly.
