Agree on the price thing. It's probably going to go up again on renewal, so try to be somewhere you can afford to take a raise so you're not hunting again in a year.

Also, if moving isn't your favorite, you may want to avoid subleases or the kind of living situation where someone is renting their house on a sabbatical of some sort. I know it sounds rare, but I know a number of people who have rented their house/subleased a condo or family home and that situation is very temporary.

Vacancy is so low these days that its worth avoiding moving at all costs once you rent somewhere.
