Other Places to find Rentals

You may find rentals online in other places, like Craigslist.com. This is not just a rental site, so it offers many items for rent or purchase. You select the location closest to where you want to move or relocate, and then indicate that you want to look at houses or apartments. From here the website will ask you for a search, where you enter what you’re looking for (i.e., one bedroom apartment) and the price range. The results will come back within your price range and in order of the items that best match your search criteria.
