Find Rental Housing

Where should you look for rental housing?

• Try the classified ads of newspapers. You’ll find the most ads on Sundays.
• Look on bulletin boards at supermarkets and other stores.
• Ask around. Organizations and churches in your area may be able to help.
• Look for vacancy signs in windows.
• Call rental services or look for them online. Keep in mind that these companies are usually paid by the landlord, so they’re not always looking out for your interests.
