First of all, everyone says that the year only starts in March, and that must be why so many people decide to move house in this month…
Lease contracts expiring, college classes in full swing, new business hires; this is definitely a month full of new beginnings.
But no matter what month it is, I want to help you find cheap houses to rent.
After all, rent is ridiculously expensive, and in these situations, one hand washes the other, right?
Why is rent so expensive?
Have you noticed that rents in your city are becoming increasingly unsustainable?
Very simple houses with one bedroom can cost three times as much as they did a few years ago…
A few months ago, I needed to move house, but I had a serious problem in not being able to find properties in a good location and in good condition, at affordable prices, which gave me a lot of headache.
This is happening due to rising inflation, the shortage of properties in some locations, as well as increased demand. (and a certain lack of awareness on the part of the owners, perhaps?)
Furthermore, we are living in a historic moment, where the unemployment rate is the lowest in many years, which generates more purchasing power, more conditions to look for housing and consequently… More expensive rents.
Yes, unfortunately or not, capitalism works like this, but enough complaining, because I discovered a very easy way to find cheap houses to rent in any region.
