The word "for" indicates that you want to have the apartment for the period of time called "summer". After summer is finished, you will once again no longer need the apartment. The word "during" is a bit ambiguous in the sentence.

The word "during" is a bit ambiguous in the sentence. Some might possibly use it to mean the same thing as above ("for"). But it could easily mean that you need to have possession of the apartment returned to you
