Where can I search for properties to rent?

When looking for a house to rent, especially for the first time, now that you are going to University, it is important to know which trustworthy platforms you can use for your search.

Within your research, you should distinguish platforms: because you will come across sites that display a wide variety of properties for sale or rent, where the properties belong to advertisers, who can be individuals or real estate agencies.

In the case of real estate agencies, they have their own respective websites where you can also search directly.

Then, there are still mobile applications that either already belong to some website or agency, or that function as real estate market property search apps.

But besides that, you can still find houses for various purposes through social networks. Here, you must filter your search well, as there may be more suspicious ads.  

Let's see case by case, where you can find your home, according to the most credible research sources.

Ask alongside the University
