Tips to Find a Rental Unit

Where to Look:

• AffordableHousing.com
• Classified Section of local newspapers under housing for rent or lease or apartments for rent or lease
• Bulletin boards in stores, laundromats, churches, credit unions, supermarkets, etc.
• Friends, neighbors, relatives may know of available units
• Yard signs advertise rentals
• Real estate offices or rental agencies

Make An Appointment:

• Ask for an appointment to see the home/unit.
• Be sure to keep it and to be on time.
• Check out the surrounding neighborhood on your visit.

Questions To Ask Prospective Landlords:

• Name, address & phone number of the owner or agent
• Full address of the home/unit
• Number of bedrooms
• Amount of rent
• Amount of Security Deposit
• Which utilities, if any, are included in the rent
• Any restrictions, such as no pets, etc.
• Will you be responsible for lawn maintenance

Note: You have the right to select any eligible unit available for lease, and are not obligated to choose a Hialeah Housing Authority owned unit if there are some available for lease.
