Can I find a cheap apartment under 300$?

Question

Is it possible or easy to find a decent (as in not falling apart or otherwise dangerous) 1-bedroom or studio apt , thats in a safe, drug-free neighborhood, for 300 or less a month? I live in Florida by the way.

Answer 1

Over here, I went into the colleges that own homes instead of dorms....And I got a really nice studio for $150 a month...No electricity or water bills....They take care of it...But only in the summer months when students are out...June, July, and August....So, when classes start again,..it goes back to $450...Try looking for some colleges down in florida and see what you can find.... I didnt even have to pay deposit..but each place is different...  

Answer 2

$300.00 a month wouldn't even cover your utility costs in Florida.

Answer 3

Haha are you kidding me?! I wish!

Answer 4

Was that a misprint? Did you mean to write $300 a WEEK? You might find a roommate situation around $300 a month.

Answer 5

sorry but h**l no!

Answer 6

$300. dollars???? R U being serious?? If so, NEVER.

Answer 7

actually i'm in the same predicament and just found one that's next to my school for 350 and 400 a month. they are both studio apts. i'm in lakeland, fl.  the surrounding area is pretty nice. right on a lake. if you find anything less then 300 let me know. which part of florida are you considering? as far as you finding something. if rent is an issue and your not working with that much income maybe you can apply for low income housing, hud subsidized housing etc. in the mean time while you search for a better job or means to make money.   i don't know your situation in it's entirety, so don't really know what else to suggest.
