I'm interested to know what visa you are all coming on.

Your best bet for a short-term lease in that price range is going to be looking for something on Craigslist. Not having any checkable credit may be a problem too, another reason you should be prepared to pay the whole rent up front, just don't sign anything or pay anything up front until you've seen the place in person.

Another option might be contacting some of the rental agencies about a larger rental. There's more chance of them having those as short lets I think.

To the OP, will you be able to come in person to check apartments out before you rent them?

The rental agency thing is a good idea.
