apartment hunting
Searching for rentals
Apartment hunting is the process of searching for a place to rent—visiting listings, touring units, and evaluating options before signing a lease.
The activity combines research with legwork: We spent three weekends apartment hunting before finding the right place.
The term captures both the active search and the often exhausting nature of the process.
