Finding a Place to Rent
Where to look
Once you have a good idea of the type of place you want, here are some places to help you start you search:
- Newspaper classifieds. You can find listings of apartments or houses in local newspapers and sometimes in community magazines.
- Apartment or housing guide. These listings can usually be found at the local grocery store.
- Ask friends or family. They may know of a great house or apartment that is available or know of some people who are moving.
- Websites. Some real estate agencies may have websites of their listings. Apartment or housing guides may also have websites.
- Community bulletin boards. Homeowners wishing to sell a house may post a notice in a community center, student center, or local library.
- Rental signs. Many landlords post signs in front of available rental property.
