Kettering Apartments For Rent

Kettering is the largest suburb in the greater Dayton, Ohio, metropolitan area with a population of some 58,000 people. Named after the famous inventor Charles F. Kettering that once lived there, the city is relatively new and has always been a suburb. From a high point of some 69,000 people living in Kettering in 1970, the community has been gradually losing its population as part of the general decline of the Dayton area.

The city has undergone a number of significant hits in recent years including the closure of General Motors facilities in the 1980s and military installation closures in the 1990s. The city still maintains some manufacturing and industrial jobs and Wright Patterson Air Force Base still provides a lot of employment as well.

About two-fifths of Kettering's residents rent their homes and the overwhelming majority of these properties are apartments that cost less than $600 per month. With the population decline, getting an apartment in Kettering should present no challenges to anyone moving into the area for the time being. In the December 2009 cost of living index, Kettering ranked as an 80, meaning that it has a low cost of living (100 is the national average), so even small amounts of money are likely to go much further in Kettering than in some of the more affluent Dayton suburbs.

Ohio does not require that leases and rental agreements contain any specific information or terms which means it falls to the renter to carefully review a lease before signing it. For example, while most people usually consider a length of time (like twelve months) to be standard in a lease, there is no requirement that a lease have this in Ohio law. This means you could theoretically run into an unethical landlord that could lock you into a perpetual lease if you fail to review it before signing. Although it is always prudent to read over any lease or rental agreement before signing it, this is especially true in Ohio where state law does not impose any requirements on such agreements.
