Renting a House Versus an Apartment?

With the economy still a bit shaky it seems that renters are not sure whether or not they should move from their current home. Moving is tough and nobody likes to do it, but if it saves you hundreds of dollars and free months worth of rent, isn't it worth the hassel? I think so. Now, the only decision is whether to rent a home or an apartment? Right now there is no stability no matter which way you turn. But, I can assure you that apartment owners are much more responsible and have much deeper pockets then the average real estate "investor" that is trying to rent out one of their homes. There are many benefits to renting a home like your very own yard work, calling repair men or the home's owner every time something breaks, the occassional pest because you do not want to have the home sprayed, etc. etc. So rent a home or an apartment? Well, apartments are offering severly reduced move in costs meaning you may not even have to pay any security deposit if your credit is decent. Also, apartments offer additional months of free rent, some are offering new TVs, computers, and the list goes on. It seems that the "investors" have not caught on yet and will more than likely ask you for one month's rent as a deposit and the only break you will get is that ancient dishwasher the owner never replaced. So here it is. If you would like to rent an apartment then simply call Apartment Finders Free Service or visit http://www.aptfind.com/, but if you want a home to rent then here are some great respources.
