New Hampshire has a number of large cities: most notably, Manchester, Nashua, Concord, Portsmouth, and Rochester, and as a result there are quite a few apartments for rent in NH. Much of the buildings in these cities are older and thus you will often find unique apartments converted from large single family homes. There are also quite a few converted mill buildings that provide more "rental complex" living, with amenities like pools, fitness centers, and meeting rooms. Depending upon the type of living you prefer there will be plenty to choose from.
Another type of building are what is referred to as multi-family buildings and were constructed solely for the purpose of rental housing. They usually are 3 and 4 unit buildings and sometimes get as large as 12 units.
You also have the option of renting a single family home or detached condo if you would like more privacy and freedom. There are usually enough homes for rent to appease the demand for these buildings. Many times home owners that cannot sell the buildings elect to rent them until the market recovers. Often these owners or investors will offer a rent-to-own option.
I can offer a lot of advice being a landlord and former tenant and I would suggest that those who are considering shopping for NH rentals first decide on the location where they'd like to live. The first thing you'll want to do is decide what your monthly budget is, including heating, electrical, parking and other utilities you'll need. It is not uncommon for rental properties to include some or all of these utilities so make sure you find out in advance which ones are or are not included. After you have this number, figure out what area you'd like to live in. Once you have a few apartments you've looked at, it's a good idea to talk to the landlord or owner to find out how maintenance and tenant issues are handled. II might also recommend speaking to other tenants in the building to see how they like living there. Many times an owner doesn't think to give you all the details and you may find out the hard way after you move in.
There are some great apartments for rent in NH it's just a question of finding the right one. You may want to consider enlisting the help of a real estate agent who will help make the search easier on you and typically know the local & state laws and are familiar with the neighborhoods. Most of the time their services are paid for by the owner so there shouldn't won't be a fee from the agent. Good luck!
