First, a few pro tips:

  1. The lowest rates are typically found between October and April, and are best right after the December holiday season.
  2. The highest priced months for move in are usually May through September.
  3. Download apps for apartment hunting like Apartment List and Apartments.com.
  4. If possible, schedule on-site tours (not everything is as it seems).
  5. Take photos of the property, just in case you decide to move in.
