Tips for Renting in St. Paul, MN

Determine your budget before starting your rental unit search in St. Paul. Experts often suggest that people spend 30 % or less of their annual income on housing (in this case, the cost of rent and any additional fees for things like parking). If you’d like to look at units that are beyond what you can afford, consider sharing the living costs with a roommate if the rental unit is appropriate for more than one person.

Choose a roommate that is someone you already know and trust, if possible. Since you will be sharing the costs and responsibilities related to renting the unit, it’s important that you can rely on the person sharing the rental unit with you. It’s a good idea to discuss expectations for living together before signing a lease agreement, including things like how often you will have guests, what the parking situation will be, and whether a cleaning schedule will be needed.
