finances help: I need a apartment but i have low income - Help.com

Try looking for apartment buildings that base the rent on your income. There is an apartment complex around where I live that does that, and it really does help the people that have low income. Its called Mulberry Hills. Check with some apartment complexes and ask them about rent based on income, couldn’t hurt. Good luck!!

I know it’s never anyone’s top choice, but try a roomate. Two or three people have so much more buying power than one, and sometimes you’ll find it works out nicely. Another thing to look at, depending on where you are (city vs. country), are co-ops. I lived in one for two years, you can generally get your own room for very cheap and food and utilities are often included.
