Find a Low Income, Rent Assisted, Affordable or Section 8 Apartment

If you're unsure how long you'll need an apartment, look for rentals that offer flexible lease terms. Month-to-month leases or short-term leases can provide flexibility without locking you into a long commitment. While these leases may come with slightly higher rents, they offer the freedom to move when needed without penalty.

Affordable Housing Tip

Negotiate Rent or Purchase Price

Don't hesitate to negotiate with landlords or sellers. Often, there is some flexibility in the price, especially if the property has been on the market for a while. Lowering the rent or purchase price even slightly can result in significant savings.
