To be honest good luck, when I rented my first house just about 2 years ago, the state had a vacancy rate of just 0.6%. Can't imagine it has gotten any better.

I would say definitely keep trying around. Landlords are mostly looking for annual leases from what I've seen, but you might get lucky.

I would also look on Craigslist for rooms for rent. People are always keen to rent out their extra space for an extra buck and most of them aren't trying to molest you with a price. definitely use caution and always know before hand who you're moving in with.

I never thought of such low vacancy rate before. I guess I probably need to pay extra to get a entirely private place. I can’t get used to leave with strangers. Thanks a lot for sharing

Completely understandable, I was 19 going on 20 when I first rented a room. The gentleman was very nice and stayed out of my way. But it definitely gave an eerie feeling living in a strangers home. Took me almost a year to get used to it and I rented with him for just over one. Do what makes you the most comfortable man. And like I said best of luck to you, sincerely, it's a tough economy out there.
