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

In cities where rent control exists, you may find apartments with caps on rent increases, providing long-term affordability. Rent-controlled units help tenants avoid significant rent hikes, making them a great option for those planning to stay in one place for several years. Do some research to see if rent control applies in the area you’re looking to rent.

Affordable Housing Tip

Look for Subsidized Housing

Government and non-profit organizations often provide subsidized housing options for low-to-moderate income individuals and families. These programs can offer reduced rents or assistance with down payments. Check with local housing authorities for available programs.
