My friend will be conducting medical research at the hospital starting in a few weeks and is looking for a rental through May or June 2027.
Since he will be earning bellow minimum wage, he is looking for an inexpensive and frugal option. While his family will subsidize additional necessities, he wants to keep costs as low as possible.
A few important details:
- He is coming from abroad and does not have a U.S. credit score. However, he has family friends in Florida and Minnesota with stable incomes who can co-sign if necessary. But they are a last option.
- He will not have a car, so the rental must be within walking distance of the hospital or very close to reliable public transit.
- He is open to living with roommates as long as he has a private room.
Does anyone have advice on the best platforms or methods to find a budget-friendly room in this area? Any tips for navigating the lack of a credit score would also be greatly appreciated.
