How can I secure the lowest rate for a stay of 12+ months?

How can I relocate during my Live@Blueground stay?
You can relocate between any qualifying, available apartments within the Live@Blueground portfolio with 30 days’ notice. A minimum of 30 days stay per location OR the minimum stay requirement of the city applies, whichever is longer. The first relocation only requires a cleaning fee to be paid. For additional relocations, the standard relocation policy applies. A cleaning fee for the new unit of relocation will be applied and is calculated based on the size of the apartment and city. Monthly pricing will adjust according to each property’s 12-month rate.
How does 'rent freezing' work?
A guest can freeze their contract a maximum of three times for up to two months as part of each full 12-month commitment. 30 days notice required to freeze contract, and overall total stay duration of contract must still be 12+months.
For example:
Freeze 2 months + 12 months stay = 14 total months. Availability for the same apartment, neighborhood or city before and after a freeze is not guaranteed (and if same unit is unavailable, your Sales rep will locate a comparable unit for you); cleaning fee will apply for each contract freeze.

Freeze 2 months + 12 months stay = 14 total months. Availability for the same apartment, neighborhood or city before and after a freeze is not guaranteed (and if same unit is unavailable, your Sales rep will locate a comparable unit for you); cleaning fee will apply for each contract freeze.
How do cancellations work?
Are there any additional fees?
- Utilities, cleaning costs, and fees/taxes are additional
- A refundable security deposit is required for guests who reserve with certain payment methods, depending on the city. Guests who stay in US cities and pay with an instant bank transfer (Plaid) can avoid this charge
- For guests who relocate, a security deposit will be paid only for the initial apartment. Your security deposit will be refunded in full at the end of your stay, provided there are no issues found during our inspection. If damages are assessed, or items are missing from the apartment, guests will generally receive partial refunds. Guests in the US who reserved their apartments with an instant bank transfer (Plaid) will be charged for damages or missing items via their linked bank accounts
