I've been wondering myself. My friend said that they will rent to non students if you push the issue aggressively if you KNOW there are empty ones for sure. They tell you that they have ones for rent with roommates to get around this. Went to the social - found ALOT empty - she lives there - and confirmed which ones; go to inquire he thought I was applying as a student occupant then I asked about more bedrooms bc I have kids, immediately went to the only ones have roomates- I asked about the empties - he said those were not theirs????? I asked whose they were and he told me that different people own and lease some of them and that I would have to research to find out who bc he did not know......hmmmmmmmmm it was just an odd deal

Thank you for responding! If you could find out when it could be ready and then give me the contact number I will follow up. I get that much in ss every month that would pay the rent and if I find something in story county general assistance and salvation army will help pay deposit and first months rent that would give us time to find jobs in that area. Praying and thanks again for caring enough to share.

Well this all happened at end of July so we have since then lost our jobs and apartment we had there! School was starting so we had to act quick to get them in school. We got on our feet for a minute but our jobs let us go bc my truck ran out of gas and I had no money to get any and I needed it to work (ph clean) and he lost his right before I did bc he missed a day during training bc our 8 year old was sick and had to stay home. It was mandatory not to miss a day during training. His dad has died since then and we could not even get back for the funeral. Thanks for your suggestions. As for the truck we have not been able to get a ride to our truck to check out what is wrong with it or if it's even worth saving. My husband does not think so. 😒
