You\u2019re eager to find your perfect place and get settled in, yet figuring out how much you can afford in rent and utilities is always in the back of your mind. Location, type of rental property, and square footage are things to consider when trying to save money, and making sure your furry friend is allowed is of course a cherry on top. Here are some things to keep in mind as you are touring and searching rental properties.<\/p>\n<h2>Use Your Network of Friends<\/h2>\n<p>Sometimes, hunting for the perfect rental property can drag on forever and seem like there\u2019s nothing available within your price range. Just because you\u2019re looking for <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rentals.com\/Indiana\/Indianapolis\/\">houses for rent in Indianapolis<\/a><\/strong> doesn\u2019t mean you have to have a best friend also living there. Nowadays, we have so many connections that even though we may not have a friend in the area we\u2019re looking for rentals in, they may know someone. It can even be a scenario such as \u201cMy coworker has a friend that rents apartments out, let me give you their information!\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>Move When It\u2019s Cold Out<\/h2>\n<p>When you\u2019re rental hunting in the summer, chances are, lease prices are going to be at their highest. The landlord isn\u2019t going to budge because this is the time when most people are out and about, and they can have many options for finding a renter. Rent prices are at their lowest in November, December, and January, so keep that in mind.<\/p>\n<h2>Make Sure There\u2019s Room for Your Furniture<\/h2>\n<p>You found the perfect couch and your perfect bed, not realizing that they\u2019re too wide to even fit through the door. This is a common problem, since a lot of rental properties have the older, smaller framed doorways, and big city apartments are known for downsizing everything. Measure all of the furniture you need to bring with you, and if you see a property you\u2019re interested in, measure doorways and make sure the bedroom is big enough for that queen-size bed.<\/p>\n<h2>Don\u2019t Trust the Landlord\u2019s Utility Quote<\/h2>\n<p>A landlord\u2019s goal is to sell, sell, sell. They don\u2019t live there, so it\u2019s common sense that they won\u2019t really know the usual electric bill. If you want to live in a large apartment building with many tenants, take advantage of this and if you see someone in the hallway, just ask them what their normal monthly utility bill is. They will understand, as everyone living there is in the same boat.<\/p>\n<h2>Be Realistic<\/h2>\n<p>There\u2019s nothing like the sour gut feeling when you find your dream rental space and picture yourself making coffee in the kitchen when it\u2019s so far over your budget. Don\u2019t have the mentality of \u201cOh well, I\u2019ll make it work,\u201d when it just won\u2019t. You don\u2019t want to be living paycheck to paycheck; you want money left over for fun weekends with friends and family and taking spontaneous trips.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hunting for your dream rental home is exciting and nerve-wracking at the same time.
