After finally getting an acceptance, I am now faced with the dilemma of finding some place to live. I have 2 medium/large dogs (my babies) and finding a place for us to live is not looking good right now. I started off by looking at apartments, but have had no luck. However, while searching for apartments, I began to notice house rental listings. These houses are the same price, and in some cases, lower priced, than the apartments.
I would really prefer living in a house: quieter, more space, having a fenced backyard, etc.; but I know nothing about how renting a house works. I assume there is more expense in upkeep and utilities?
After seeing what apartment options offered in the area I am moving to, a house seems more realistic. So, does anyone have experience with renting a house?
