Read your local newspaper. Go to the classified section of your local paper. You can get a good indication of what the rental properties are going for. When you compare prices, be sure to compare apples to apples. In other words, compare two-bedroom apartments with other two-bedroom apartments rather than the price of a one-bedroom rental unit to a two-bedroom rental unit.
