House rental

[Gaybutton]

I too would have thought under the present circumstances they would take what they can get, but even the houses for rent out where I live - on "The Dark Side" - are also six month minimum.

Have you considered renting a condo or staying in a guesthouse? Most of those can be had for as little as one month.

If it absolutely must be a house, the only option I can think of if the landlord won't be reasonable would be to pay for six months even though you are staying three or four months. With stubborn landlords, it's either that or you won't be staying in a house.

If you do go with a house, be careful. I would not recommend renting it without first seeing it with your own eyes, not photos. With all the flooding, many houses have been damaged and who knows what condition they are in. I wouldn't pay a deposit or part with any money at all before seeing it for myself.
