3 months rentals

[Velvet]

Hi,
I´m coming to Miami next year in June for a three-month internship and I´m looking for a room or a family to live at. I would prefer to have a roommate in an apartment or a family. I can´t afford more than 700 Dollar a month. Does anyone have an idea where I could look for it ?
Thanks a lot

Velvet

Hi Velvet, welcome to the forums. Have you tried looking in the roommates section of craigslist? There are often ads there. Just make sure to see the place and sign a written agreement before any money is exchanged! You may also be able to find a single or bachelorette apartment for $700 if you look around carefully.

In some parts of the City, like in my case, you can get rentals that are on a monthly basis, with no contracts or leases.

@Doug:
Thanks for the hint! Yes I´ve already been on the site of craigslist but I wasn´t sure if you can trust this site. I guess it´s a little too early to arrange something for next summer but I will stay tuned to that

Btw: I looked how long it´ll take me to get to work by bus (about 70 minutes!) if I´d stay in Miami beach and I think it would only take about 20 min by car. Is it very expensive to rent a car for 3 months over there ?

@dylan: Which part of the city are you? I planned to stay in Miami Beach but I will have to work in Coral Gables.
