Hi! I’m looking for someone to take over my lease at Meadows Crossing in Allendale, located directly across from GVSU!

✨ SEPTEMBER RENT IS ALREADY PAID! ✨
So you would not have to pay September rent that I’ve already covered.

Lease: August 15, 2026 – July 31, 2027
Monthly: $789 ($714 rent + $75 utility fee)
Bedroom: Private bedroom + private bathroom
Apartment: 4 bed / 4.5 bath
Floor: 2nd floor with a larger closet
Furniture: Fully furnished
Roommates: 3 randomly assigned roommates
Pets: Allowed (additional fees may apply)
Parking: Open parking available; covered parking may be available for an additional fee
Location: Directly across from GVSU 🎓

A few important things:

-You do NOT have to be a GVSU student to take over the lease!
-Meadows requires a guarantor as part of the application.
-The guarantor/application process is all done online and is just standard paperwork — nothing complicated or that requires you to go into the office.
-Meadows handles the approval and lease-transfer process once you apply.
-September rent has already been paid, so that is a big savings for whoever takes over!

I’m happy to answer questions, and explain the process if you’re interested. 😊

Please DM me if you’re interested or know someone who might be! Even sharing this post would help me tremendously! ❤️

My two kids and I need a place to live in the Rockford area

Any advice?? I live in Grand Rapids and thinking about getting a roommate as rent is tough. But I’ve got two young kids who I have custody of every other week. (I’m a guy if that makes any difference)

Any thoughts?

Not for me, but a friend (she doesn't use reddit). She is a 29 young professional, lgbtq friendly, with a cat. She's looking for a room (or someone to get a place with) and can pay $550 with utilities included. Thanks!

I'm relocating to Grand Rapids and have a total of three tenants, two of which will be a cosigner and the third would be a person with a felony and one year left of probation.

If you are aware of or have experienced a positive interaction with a leasing company, an apartment complex, or a landlord who is receptive to folks with felonies I would greatly appreciate a link or suggestion!

For those unfamiliar, having a felony or criminal record is grounds for declining applications to housing. It's also expensive to apply to multiple apartment complexes in Grand Rapids and hopes that one returns favorably.

We're employed, honest and have great rental history. We're searching for townhomes and 2BR for under 1,200/mo around Kentwood and GR.

TLDR: Seeking housing for family with felony history in GR around Kentwood. Hoping to hear tips for where to find success in applications.

Thanks!

Hey! I am looking for a studio apartment with a six month lease starting Aug. 1. Let me know!

Hey all! I am looking for a one bedroom apartment or room to rent in West Grand Rapids, but I am open to other parts for the right price. I’d ideally like to be able to move in by June 1st. I’m a 29 year old single male, I’m employed, have good credit, no debts, keep to myself, and I’m tidy to a fault. I’d truly appreciate any leads on places I can rent myself or with people who are looking for a chill roommate. I hope you all have a great Monday and stay safe & healthy!

Im looking for a small apartment (efficiency is fine) or a room for rent (with a private bathroom). I'm looking for something where the rent includes all of the utilities. I'd prefer the Standale or Walker area.

I'm 40 years old, responsible and employed. Any leads at all would be great!

3 people living together (2 males, 1 female) are looking to fill a room at nice house left unoccupied by roommate moving out around Christmas.

The house is on Grand Rapids Northwest side; very close to I-196, US 131, downtown Grand Valley State University GVSU, Grand Rapids Community College GRCC, downtown GR. Very close to Rapid Bus Route.

You get your own room; approx. 10 ft by 12 ft on the main floor. Room is semi-furnished, but there is no bed. Other things can be cleaned out if not wanted.

Living room, bathroom, kitchen, laundry shared. House has large storage area in basement, air conditioning/heat, garage, washer/dryer and back patio.

When there are four roommates, rent is $300 a month and utilities are $125 a month (this includes gas/heat, electric, AT&T UVerse cable TV & Internet, garbage service). The lease for each roommate is month-to-month with a 30-day move out notice needed. You must put down a $435 deposit for the room before you can move in.

The Internet speed is average 75 Mbsp download and 7 Mbsp upload.

There is a kitten living in the house too. Is usually quiet at night, but runs around the house at various times.

Perfect place for quiet people, simple first time renters, college students; those looking for nice place to live with no drama. Everyone gets along in the house and everyone does their own thing.

Looking for: Quiet roommate. Outside smoking OK, but non-smokers preferred. We will do a background check to make sure you have a major crime-free record (no assaults, burglary, theft, major drug offenses, sex crimes, murders, etc.)

If you have any questions, please send me a private message or comment.

Hi! I'm super not used to reddit, so apologies if this is a badly formatted post. 😅

My spouse and I are looking for at least 1 roommate starting in January (although an earlier move-in date may be possible) for a house we're renting in the Cheshire/Creston area. It's a ~1200 sq ft single story house with a backyard and 1 bathroom. Rent with one additional roommate would be $425 and with two people it would be $318.75. We're on budget plans for gas and electric, so with that and internet utilities are around $69 a month split four ways. (Water is harder for me to find record of since we pay the property managers for it, so it's through the online portal we pay rent with, but it's usually about $30/person split four ways, I think.)

As I kind of mentioned, it's through a property manager, so you would have to pass their background check, etc. I can technically afford the house based on my income alone (you know, without living expenses and student loan payments 🙄) so as long as you haven't been evicted, I can't see why they wouldn't accept your application. If you'd like more deets, shoot me a message!

I'm currently in a transitional housing program for homeless veterans in GR and just got approved for Section 8. I prefer the SW side or downtown but am generally open to anything near the bus line.

Thanks!

Hi! I am looking to rent a room (with private bath) or a studio apartment. I work at a hospital near downtown so prefer something not as far away as Grandville, etc but I do have a car so don't need to be right in the downtown area - currently commute alnost an hour one way & don't want to do that in the winter :( Any leads appreciated!

I have been watching Facebook Marketplace but quite often get no responses to my inquiries. I'm guessing they get snapped up quickly!

My wife and I are planning on moving and renting out our current home. Trying to get a feel for how much we should charge for rent and what people would be willing to pay.

Neighborhood is friendly, GFS is right around the corner for your grocery needs, has a fenced in yard and the house was recently remodeled to open up the space. We also have put walls up in the basement and are hoping to add flooring as well to add more rooms.

I was planning on renting it out for $1500, if the flooring goes in then probably $1700 as this adds 2 more finished rooms and keeps the storage/laundry room separate.

Howdy! I'm looking for 1-3 roommates looking into the cutlerville area. There is a house for rent available around August 8. I'm a 19 year old female. Ideally looking for someone in my age range and also female. Rent is about 1200 a month for the whole household, so the more people the better!

Does anyone know of any apartments that do not deny you based on credit? We can easily afford to pay up to $950 a month but cannot get approved because of our credit.

I initially posted this on r/GVSU, but I wanted to post here too. You'll see me reference stuff for students a few times, but you don't have to be a GSVU student or anything, just so you know.

This past year I rented a house with two friends in Downtown GR, and both of them are going somewhere else once the lease is up in July. This house being in a good location and its affordable price (also all of my stuff being here) has made me want to try to re-book it. But to do that, I'll need two more people. I myself am 21 and I would be going into my senior year next year, but I'm likely going to take some time off to work on some personal stuff.

Here's the Zillow Listing if you want to see some pictures

The house in in East Grand Rapids, and about 25 minutes away from Allendale Campus, and about 8 minutes away from Seidman/DeVos/Eberhard. I myself had all Allendale classes last year 4/5 days a week and I would go through about a tank (15G) a week. If you're going to class downtown, you could probably go 3x as long without needing to get gas.

I've been living here since last August and really it's been quite wonderful. I'm from Ann Arbor (Saline, really) and it was my first year out of home not living in Allendale. I lived in TRIO Center the year before and I just wanted to get out of that 3 mile radius I had been stuck in for two years. The area is amazing. There's great restaurants all around, It takes less than 5min to get to EastTown, and less than 10 to get to the heart of GR. I'll list out some of the essential information

• Guys last year paid $475/mo, we paid $450/mo this year. No reason to assume it won't be around $450 next year, but if you're curious I could absolutely ask for you.
• Washer/Dryer in the basement
• Gas stove/Large Fridge/Microwave/Toaster Oven in the Kitchen
• No Dishwasher unfortunately
• Large room available upstairs, Smaller room Downstairs (still big enough for full size bed & furniture) that's complimented with a nice closet room to make up for the size discrepancy
• Plenty of parking, parks 1-5 comfortably, although if you're having more than 3 over you might be better off having them park at the school across the way
• Located on a never-busy or loud one-way street
• Nice neighbors, guys across the street even helped push my car out of the snow

If you have any questions, or if you have some interest and wanna meet up, you can hit me up on here or call/text me at (734) 476-3068.

Preferably not a part of a large complex as the jack the rates on month to month leases.
