Congratulations are in order. We hope you\u2019re celebrating, but chances are, you\u2019re probably also wondering, \u201cHow will this even work?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Maybe you have a family and are worried about uprooting your kids from school. Maybe your significant other has a good job, which they\u2019ll have to leave behind. Either way, these puzzle pieces will work themselves out if this new position is a good fit for you and puts your family in a better place.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The important thing now is to talk to your family and make arrangements. One of those arrangements is finding a place to live.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this blog, we\u2019ll share all you need to know about how to rent a house when relocating to take some extra stress off your shoulders. Considering you\u2019re moving somewhere you haven\u2019t spent a lot of\u2013or <em>any<\/em>\u2013time in, having a few pointers can make a world of difference.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"597\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" alt=\"A Suburban mid-century house with garage\" class=\"wp-image-14944 lazyload\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.bellhopblog.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Suburban-mid-century-house-1024x597.jpg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bellhopblog.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Suburban-mid-century-house-1024x597.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.bellhopblog.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Suburban-mid-century-house-300x175.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.bellhopblog.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Suburban-mid-century-house-768x448.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.bellhopblog.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Suburban-mid-century-house.jpg 1200w\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-what-should-you-look-for-when-renting-a-new-house\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_should_you_look_for_when_renting_a_new_house\"><\/span>What should you look for when renting a new house?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Renting a house in a new city can be intimidating, <em>but <\/em>you\u2019re already off to a great start. That\u2019s because you don\u2019t have to worry about moving to another city without a job or whether you should find a job or apartment first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You already have one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That puts you ahead of the game and will make the home search process significantly easier.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re curious about how to rent a house when relocating, you have two things to think about: (1) the best neighborhood to move to in your price range and (2) what to do with your current house.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes to a new potential rental, make sure it hits all your needs. Then, focus on the wants. Some things to look for are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Price range (It\u2019s best to keep your rent at no more than 30% of your total income.)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Distance to your work<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Proximity to schools<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Quality of those schools<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Crime rate in the neighborhood<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Amenities<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re moving with a family, there are many more things to consider than if you\u2019re <a href=\"https:\/\/www.getbellhops.com\/blog\/13-must-know-tips-for-moving-to-a-new-state-alone\/\">moving alone<\/a> or with your significant other. You have to think about the schools, safety ratings, and more to make sure your kids will feel comfortable at school and get a quality education.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, if your kids are involved in any extracurricular activities or sports, double-check that they have those same activities available in your new city to ensure your kids are happy with the new move and still able to enjoy their favorite activities despite their whole world shifting with an intrastate or cross-country move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tips_on_how_to_find_a_new_place_to_rent\"><\/span>Tips on how to find a new place to rent<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are some ideas for finding a place to live in your new city:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Go_on_Craigslist\"><\/span>#1: Go on Craigslist<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>An oldie but a goodie, Craigslist lets you browse online rental listings across the country. You can specify a minimum or maximum price, type of housing, and whether animals are allowed. Another nice thing about Craigslist is that you\u2019re not limited to houses. This platform also has listings for apartments, rooms, shared housing, sublets, and temporary housing.&nbsp;<\/p><div class=\"getbe-middle\" style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center; \" id=\"getbe-1730740978\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.getbellhops.com\/book\/service\/\" aria-label=\"The Better Way to Move\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" alt=\"The Better Way to Move\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" width=\"600\" height=\"160\" style=\" max-width: 100%; height: auto;\" class=\"lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.bellhopblog.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/600x160.png\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bellhopblog.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/600x160.png 600w, https:\/\/www.bellhopblog.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/600x160-300x80.png 300w\"><\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Look_at_social_media_blogs_and_forums\"><\/span>#2: Look at social media, blogs, and forums<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the best ways to find a place to rent is to learn from other people who live in the city. Browse social media, real estate blogs, and forums to find out where the nice places are and where your family might like to live. That can help narrow down your search and alert you to the best independent renters, apartment complexes, rental agents, extended-stay hotels, and property managers.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Check_out_online_listings\"><\/span>#3: Check out online listings<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Some popular sites to find rentals include Zillow.com, Zumper.com, Apartments.com, Rent.com, Realtor.com, and Trulia.com. A quick search can show you what price to expect in your target neighborhood. Once you find a few places you like, schedule an in-person or virtual showing to check out the rental. If it hits all your criteria, you can fill out an application to rent a property.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Contact_a_realtor\"><\/span>#4: Contact a realtor<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Realtors help people buy and sell homes. If someone relocates from another city or state, they may need temporary housing until a home is available. Most realtors have recommendations for short-term rentals or other housing options, so it\u2019s worth the phone call.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"597\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" alt=\"A couple shaking hands with a realtor\" class=\"wp-image-14945 lazyload\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.bellhopblog.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Couple-With-Realtor-1024x597.jpg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bellhopblog.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Couple-With-Realtor-1024x597.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.bellhopblog.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Couple-With-Realtor-300x175.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.bellhopblog.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Couple-With-Realtor-768x448.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.bellhopblog.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Couple-With-Realtor.jpg 1200w\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">A realtor may have tips on where to land in a new a city<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_should_you_do_with_the_house_youre_moving_from\"><\/span>What should you do with the house you\u2019re moving from?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You can leave your house as is if you\u2019re only going to be gone a few months. However, you\u2019ll still have to pay the mortgage while you\u2019re away. So, you might want to rent out your home. Here\u2019s how to do that:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_rent_out_a_house\"><\/span>How to rent out a house<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you aren\u2019t ready to sell your current house and plan to return to your old city at some point, renting out the house is a great option. Not only can it give you a recurring rental income, which can help supplement your spouse\u2019s income while you are away, but it can keep you from having to pay rent for two properties at the same time. Depending on where you\u2019re moving to, that can get pricey.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are the steps to rent out your house:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Research the rates for other rentals in your city and neighborhood.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Research the landlord-tenant laws in your area.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Consult your accountant about how to handle property taxes.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ask a lawyer for help drafting a rental agreement.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Hire a property manager if you don\u2019t have time to manage the rental yourself. (This is especially helpful if you live out of state temporarily.)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Hire a maintenance person to handle problems at the property.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Hire a landscaper (if needed).&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Write a listing.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Schedule showings.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Screen applicants. You can do a credit check and request references, employment status, proof of income, and more to ensure that they can pay rent. (You might also request a security deposit, a pet deposit (if applicable), and the first and last month\u2019s rent.)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Take pictures of the property before the renters move in.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Have your renters sign a lease.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Open a separate bank account to hold onto the renter\u2019s security deposit.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_do_you_get_an_apartment_in_a_new_city\"><\/span>How do you get an apartment in a new city?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If the houses in your new city are out of your price range right now, an apartment is a great alternative. The process of finding an apartment is similar to finding a house. You can check out listings online or call different real estate companies to see if there are any vacant apartments in your desired neighborhood.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, if you have time to drive around before your move and look at apartment complexes, call the complexes directly to ask about their availability. There are typically at least a few openings at large complexes (particularly in the spring and summer). Whether you get an apartment or house to rent, make sure to bring your driver\u2019s license, proof of income, references, and bank statements. (That will make the process of how to rent a house with a new job much easier, keeping you from having to track all of that information down later.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"597\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" alt=\"A stylish apartment living room\" class=\"wp-image-14946 lazyload\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.bellhopblog.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Urban-Apartment-Living-room-1024x597.jpg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bellhopblog.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Urban-Apartment-Living-room-1024x597.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.bellhopblog.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Urban-Apartment-Living-room-300x175.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.bellhopblog.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Urban-Apartment-Living-room-768x448.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.bellhopblog.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Urban-Apartment-Living-room.jpg 1200w\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">An Airbnb may be an option for a short-term rental<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_you_move_into_an_Airbnb\"><\/span>Can you move into an Airbnb?&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Absolutely! Airbnbs are another wonderful option if you don\u2019t have much time before your expected moving day or are having a hard time finding a place to rent. You don\u2019t have to worry about a lease, and you can move in promptly, which can make it easier to find a house or apartment to rent in your new city.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another great benefit of Airbnbs is that they come furnished with all of your bare essentials and often more, including a kitchen, couch, bed, and sometimes washer and dryer. You won\u2019t need to purchase any furniture or appliances since the Airbnb will have it all. Just make sure that you talk to the host first and verify that the Airbnb is okay for a long-term stay so that you don\u2019t run into any problems.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Need_help_moving\"><\/span>Need help moving?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that you know how to rent a house when relocating for work, it\u2019s time to go through your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.getbellhops.com\/blog\/the-moving-checklist\/\">moving checklist<\/a> and get this show on the road.
