For example, you could move to low rent housing which could potentially save you several hundred dollars a month in rent. This is especially helpful if you have lost your job or your pay has been cut.

The most obvious place to start looking for low rent housing is online. Many websites, including craigslist, can be a great tool for finding low rent housing. Search for these housing by inputting the lowest rent possible.

If you do not want to find a low rent housing online, you can get the help of a realtor who deals with property management. If they manage many properties, they can probably find some low rent housing for you.

Get a free housing rental magazine from the news stand and flip through it for some ideas about apartment rentals in your area. The rental prices will tell you how much money you can expect to pay for rent in that city.
