How do subleases work in Reno?

A sublease lets you take over a room or apartment from a current tenant for part of their lease, often for the summer or one semester. Make sure the landlord allows it, and get the terms, dates and rent in writing before you pay.

Not if you live near campus or downtown. RTC buses connect campus with much of the city, but a car helps in northwest Reno or Sparks.
