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.
