New personnel should talk with the Housing Relocation
Coordinator. The Coordinator can compute your information such as how much you
would like to rent a house or apartment for and compute a list of available
listings for you.
Housing information can also be obtained from local
chambers of commerce.
Most rental agreements are for one year
period. The first month's rent and security deposit (about one
month's rent) are usually required before moving in.
Rental rates do not
normally include utilities and a utility deposit may be
required. Most rentals do not permit pets. However, if
pets are allowed renters can expect to pay an additional deposit of $250 to
$500. Most apartments do not have washer and dryer connections as
duplexes and houses do.
Most towns have a Housing Inspection and
occupancy program. Residents need to obtain and "Occupancy Permit"
from the town in which they will be renting. Your landlord/property
manager will assist you in the proper procedures for obtaining this permit.
