What Can I Find Here?

What Do I Need?

If you love Southern cuisine, and really want to move here you're in luck; part of the city is a renters market, the other half is not. Depending on the neighborhood, the vacancy rate is as low as 3 percent, typically in the north. But the vacancy rate on the south side of the city is as high as 12 percent.

So, look over your budget, look at your credit rating, and think very carefully on what you can afford and how much bargaining you want to go through to rent an apartment.

Typically a decent credit report and a short list of references should be enough. If you're in the City Center, which is the most expensive part of the city, you'll need proof of income and a reference from your previous landlord if you want the best possible deal. In the E. Argonne Drive area, having cash should cover you; anything extra will get you nice bonuses like all utilities paid.
