Answers: Check out craigslist. Put in your city, and check out the rentals. These are not political affairs estimates but actual rents being charged.
All of these apartments are surrounded by different communities. In a "lower-income" community homes will not rent for as much. In a more desirable area rent prices are superior. If they have a "chamber of commerce" surrounded by each city, ask nearby. You may also find out by asking realtors. They know what property will bring.

Once you find that property and are approved, to protect your deposits:
As soon as you get those key, don't move anything into the property until you prepare a list of everything wrong next to the property.
Make it perfectly clear you will not be responsible for any pre-existing conditions or needed repairs.
Here's what I suggest:
Go contained by defensively! Protect yourself and your deposits!
Whatever is told to you which is not in the lease, transport the landlord or agent a notification explaing those things as you see and understand them - from your perspective!
This includes repairs, paint, fine art, pets, etc. Sign and date the list. Bring or messages it to the landlord or agent. You should do this inside 5 calendar days (days in a row).
To increase the possibility of having as much of your deposits as possible returned to you, you should sort a list of everything wrong next to the property. No matter how minor or minor the repair, situation or problem may seem to be, put it on the chronicle! When its not on the list, its your responsibility. In other words, when you move from the property, it will be deduct from your deposits. When damages are more than the deposits, you will be responsible for any and all optional money.
B] For the list to be confidently read and understood, please clearly print or type the chronicle.
Each room or area should enjoy its own heading or title. List all problems contained by that room or area. Do indistinguishable for the next room or nouns and the next. Do not forget ceiling, walls, floors, closets, doors [front and back], windows, stairways, hall, attic, basement, garage storage shed and, when applicable, any outbuildings; the outside of the house, condominium or apartment.
C] List appliances not properly working, leak faucets, "running" toilets; spots, burns, stains and tears on rugs; cracks on ceilings, walls and floors; chipped, missing and broken tile; cracked, stuck, broken or missing window and screens; and adjectives other problems as they appear in that room or nouns. Nails, nail holes and stuck, missing, cracked or broken window may be in respectively room or area. DO NOT evacuate them out or forget them. Put them on the list. Be as specific and clear as possible.
You may also preference to take pictures, too.
Get duplicates and transport the originals to the owner or agent.
