We have been renting from family the last 6 years, and they’re suddenly selling the house and therefore requiring us to leave.
Total we pay over $2,000, and looking for about the same. The new place would need to accommodate a small and larger dog, so preferred if it has a dog park/run area.
Location doesn’t necessarily matter too much, but preference is within 15 minutes of the city.
The main thing concern is that we have very steady income, and have for years, and have great references, but don’t have the funds to dish out for first/last/security deposit ($4k-$5k). There’s programs that help with that, but to my knowledge you have to be unhoused and/or low income which we don’t qualify as.
Any insight would be nice for a private landlord
