When to Search

Apartment hunting in Wisconsin in the winter can actually yield some unexpected deals. You will generally have less people competing for the same apartments, which can make some places accessible to you where you would usually find yourself in a competition. Because of the reduced selection however, it is a good idea to give yourself a full two months for your winter apartment hunt.

Staying in the Know

References are very important to Eau Claire landlords. Despite its population, the locals have a very strong sense of community, which means trust is very important. If you can have someone of credibility vouch for you, such as a former employer, professor or landlord, your chances of getting a good place shoot up astronomically.
