When to Search

Summer is a great time to look for an apartment in Providence. If you start your apartment hunt around June, you should have time to look at several great options. Even if you're moving to town in the fall, this should still afford you enough time to find the best place for your needs.

Staying in the Know

Providence landlords want to rent to respectable clients. You need to convince them that you're a responsible and worthwhile tenant. Great references are the best way to do this. You need to have someone else's word to convince your prospective landlord that you would be the best possible resident in their building.
