Does any one know of a 2 or 3 bedroom house in Ohio, in the country to rent under $300.00 a month with no deposit?

Hi Carol, I don't know anything about Ohio, sorry, have you considered looking for a position as caretakers of a property? I realize that your husband has health concerns, but I understand that there are many opportunities for occupying a small farmhouse on a large piece of property in rural areas just to "be there" for the owners..For example, a corporate-owned retreat that is only open a few times a year, yet the company would want someone living on the property to do light housekeeping, make sure pipes don't freeze, etc..also, summer camps who want folks on the property year round, and then have them help get cabins ready for the season.If you like the idea, type in "caretaker jobs" on a search engine and see more information. Hope that this is of some help....Good luck !!!

Look in the Meigs, Vinton and Galla county area. Rental, home and land prices seem very reasonable compared to the rest of the state. Of course there are very few jobs there.

Go to the library, get a copy of the Sunday Times Sentinel from Promeroy, OH. This paper generally has half a dozen rental home that fit your needs.

Good Luck

Spread the word that you're looking for a place. Lots of owners prefer not to advertise, thats how I hooked up. Call real estate agents, often the landlord pays the listing fee. Put a notice up at school, church or the local market. Good luck!
