Resident Testimonials
"Wonderful living experience. Lived through 3 different rental companies throughout my 4 years of college and Rent MSU was by far the best. Quick response to maintenance issues and very understanding. I wish I would have rented with them my whole time in school. Molly Anderson is extremely helpful and is great to work with. She truly wants to give the best experience possible."

"I rented all through out college. I loved how they had the utilities payments set up for you online."
- Austin
"As a college town tenant, I’ve had a really good experience with the staff in the club house and at the RENTMSU location down town. The club house staff is always welcoming and willing to help me when I walk in. All of my house’s maintenance issues have been resolved with in a few days of submitting request. Looking forward to living here next year too!"
