Ive been renting apartments my whole adult life but this summer when my lease is up, I plan to spend more and want to rent a house (or even a townhouse or duplex, just not another apartment). Normally when renting an apartment then I look at places online, then go in person to take a tour, then if I like it I sign up. Is the process of renting a house much different? Are the papers that you sign much different than an apartment lease? Anything I should know?
