What does "Cheap" mean for Apartment rentals in Detroit, MI?
Cheap is a relative term to communicate more "affordable" rental and living expenses.

When searching on HotPads for more affordable apartments, use the "Sort:" feature to sort apartments by Lowest Price for Detroit. Additionally, set a max price for your search and select "Save search" to be notified in real-time when "cheaper" apartments come on the market.
What are some additional tips for securing a "cheaper" apartment?
Although a larger multi-tenant building is less likely to negotiate rental terms there are a few things that don't hurt to try, including:
- Offer to sign a longer lease for lowered monthly rent
- Negotiate landscaping or property maintenance for lowered monthly rent
- Ask about becoming an onsite property manager
- Educate yourself regarding the apartment rental market and market rates in Detroit. Knowing this will help you accurately negotiate fair rent.
