If you’re looking to relocate right now, a popular solution that may best fit your current rental needs is a short-term lease.

Making the decision to rent is exciting and terrifying at the same time. For many people, there are a lot of unknowns.

As a digital nomad, you no longer call a set address or office building your home for eight hours of the day or more.

Everyone needs a place to live and to call home. For decades, the federal government has established protections to ensure that individuals and families can find housing free from discriminatory barriers.

Regardless of the size or location, everyone needs certain basic necessities in order to call a place home.

Often, in the excitement of finding a new place to live, there’s a rush to make it happen, and - too often - a new tenant signs a lease without reading it carefully.

If you’re considering an apartment that accepts pets, it’s wise to learn about the rules that apply to animals in apartments. Conversely, if you want a no-pets building, you should understand what “no pets” means.

While many apartment buildings are “no smoking” properties, it’s hard to know exactly how many. In 2017, the National Apartment Association reported more than half of rental properties had smoke free policies.

With the rising costs of housing, a lot of renters are asking this question: Is it possible to opt out of various amenities that your rental property offers so that you can avoid paying the fees.
