If you’re thinking about moving out of your parent’s house but don’t have much money saved up, then renting a room is the least expensive option. If you want to move out without spending tons of money on furnishing your apartment, then renting a room from someone will save you a LOT of money. In this video we cover how to find a room to rent online using apps and websites. We also talk a lot about how to avoid scams and ways to stay safe when looking for a room to rent. Part of having smart personal finances is being able to KEEP AS MUCH OF YOUR MONEY as possible. If you rent an apartment or a house, you’ll have to pay first and last month’s rent plus a security deposit before you can even move in. Plus you still have to buy all of the stuff that goes in the apartment! Renting room from someone is financially the smartest way to go. The rental contracts are usually month to month and are less expensive than splitting the rent with a roommate. Use the apps and websites we recommend to find a room near you.
