Housing, Vacation Rentals,

and

Apartments

Please note that scammers can find their way into any website. While we cannot make any guarantees, we offer some advice on what to look for or red flags that might come up in the process of securing a rental. Be sure to check out our ‘tips for securing housing’ link or our ‘avoiding scams’ link for information on how to best secure your private rental. Some websites have certain protections in place, while others do not. Please be sure to check the website for any protection they may or may not offer.

Did you know that most third-party apartment websites show only the one year standard lease price per month with no furnishings? It’s always best to check the apartment complex’s website or call a leasing agent at the complex for current availability, short-term leases, and furnishing options.  This would be for any website like apartments.com, apartmentfinder.com, etc.
