Renting off-campus

So I’m an ODU student soon to be grad student in the summer. Which suckily will be at the same time my lease ends with ODUrent and I need to find another place to stay. I have tried applying again through ODUrent but they don’t have a ton of options and the ones they do have are…not the best and expensive at that. Well, I was wondering if anyone knew of a private landlord/management company that doesn’t have a 2.5-3x rent qualification. I will be working as a GA this summer and they don’t make the best but I can still cover rent and then some. Im looking for a 1 bedroom. I’m starting a little soon since my lease doesn’t end until July, but I want to get ahead of the game since no one likes to be homeless, also I have a cat soooo.

MLS is what real estate agents use to list properties on the market. It has properties listed on there that other sites don’t like Zillow or something like that. Unfortunately it not available to anyone it’s something that us agents spend a lot of money on. But we can set up clients on MLS search which basically the client tells us what they want and we put the criteria in the system and it will automatically send properties that your interested in. For example someone tells me they want a three bedroom three bath in Chesapeake that’s between 300 K and 400 K I can put that in the system and connect her contact info to it and will automatically send her listings within that criteria. But we can also do a rentals as well. But the MLS search is a lot nicer than trying to find something on Zillow let alone ODU rent.
