Relocating to Lafayette

Lafayette's best executive rentals are pre-leased before you get here.

You start looking months before your move. The best homes list about 30 days out and lease in days. By the time you arrive, they're gone. Join our waitlist and we start asking around early, with landlords, property managers and local agents, about homes coming open around your move date.

RESERVED LAFAYETTE
Like a reservation at the best table in town, the good ones are spoken for early.
The timing problem

Your search starts early. The best rentals don't wait.

Corporate moves get planned months ahead, but rentals don't hit the market until the current tenant gives notice. The waitlist closes that gap.

~120 days outYou learn you're moving and start looking
60–90 days outWe start asking around about upcoming vacancies

Days laterThe best ones are already leased

For landlords

Lease it before it's vacant.

Tell us about upcoming turnovers 60–90 days early and we'll match your property to a waitlist of relocating professionals. Less vacancy, fewer showings, and qualified applicants.

  • Pre-lease before the current tenant moves out
  • Applicants relocating for established employers
  • Written, uniform screening criteria applied to every applicant
  • Placement fee equal to one month's rent, paid only when we place a tenant
  • Lease with an option to buy, for owners who want rent now and a buyer later
  • Selective property management, with vetted local vendors let in by one-day lockbox codes

Who we are

lafayette2rent is a service of Flatland Real Estate LLC, a licensed Indiana real estate brokerage. Broker Douglas Willems brings more than 25 years of Indiana real estate experience.

When you're ready to buy in Lafayette, the same team that found your rental can help you find your home.

Lease it now. Sell it later.

Lease with an option to buy.

A lease-purchase pairs a regular lease with a separate option to buy at a set price. The owner collects rent now. The tenant gets time to settle in, save and qualify before buying. If the tenant doesn't buy, the owner still has a lease and can renew, re-rent or sell.

Transferred before it sold

Your new job starts before your house sells. Rent covers the payment while a tenant-buyer decides.

Inherited a home

Keep the house cared for and paying its own way while the family decides, without anyone driving in to meet the plumber.

Listing expired

Buyers liked it but couldn't get the loan yet. Let one of them rent it until they can.
