Every unit comes move-in ready with flexible terms built around rotation schedules, not standard leases.
Why Rotating Students and Residents Choose Medstays
The TMC hosts thousands of rotating students and residents each year, arriving for four- to twelve-week blocks with little time to set up a household. Medstays was built for exactly this kind of stay.
Fully Furnished Units:
Bed, desk, kitchen essentials, and high-speed WiFi are already set up. Arrive with your scrubs and a suitcase, and the rest is handled.
Rotation-Length Leases:
Book for as little as four weeks or as long as six months. No yearlong commitment and no penalty for leaving when your rotation ends.
Walking Distance to the TMC:
Properties like Domain at Kirby and Sync Med Center sit in the Medical Center, Museum District, and Midtown, all within a 10-minute walk or a short Metro Rail ride of the main TMC campus.
All Bills Included:
No juggling separate accounts for electricity, WiFi, and laundry. It's all wrapped into one monthly payment, so you can actually focus on your rotation instead of a stack of bills.
Built for Rotating Schedules:
We know rotating students and residents often get placement confirmations just weeks out, sometimes with no credit history to show for it. That's fine. We're not asking you to jump through hoops to prove you're reliable.
