HOW TO GET FREE RENT

HOW TO GET FREE RENT

You can get free rent through one of three methods:

1) Manage an apartment.

2) As a building caretaker.

3) House-sitting.

Opportunities to get free rent by all three of these methods

may be found simply by checking the classified advertising

section of newspapers in the area you wish to live in. Most

of the opportunities will be listed under "Help Wanted".

Managing apartments consists of collecting rents, showing

vacancies, making minor repairs such as leaky faucets,

replacing light bulbs - and taking care of the grounds. Some

units even pay a small salary - depending on the size of the

complex. In a very large complex there is usually a separate

maintenance man and/or caretaker. The manager only handles

rent collecting and showing the vacant units.

These positions normally pay only a token salary along with

free rent.

House-sitting is much moremore attractive to the average

person. The only drawback is that most opportunities are for

short terms, 3 months to a year. However, if you only want to

locate to an area for a short period of time, this is the way

to do it and live rent-free. Many people would rather have

someone occupy their home during their absence than have it

sit empty. You would be expected to maintain the premises and

treat it "better" than as if it were your own. For more insight
