Load moreWhat to Know Before Renting Under $800 in Columbus, OH
Rentals under $800 per month in Columbus are possible but competitive — expect older buildings, smaller units, and fewer amenity-rich communities at this price point. Expand your search along major corridors and garden-style complexes where rents tend to run lower. Confirm what is included in the monthly rent (water, trash, parking) and budget for move-in costs beyond the first month's rent. Under-$800 listings in Columbus can lease within days when they hit the market.

Frequently Asked Questions About Rentals Under $800 in Columbus, OH
Rentler currently shows 161 rentals in Columbus priced under $800. Inventory at this price point is updated daily — availability changes quickly, especially at the lower price tiers where well-priced units receive applications within 24–48 hours of posting.
At the under $800 price point in Columbus, use the bedroom and property-type filters to narrow to studios, 1-bedrooms, 2-bedrooms, houses, or townhomes. Availability shifts daily — set a listing alert if you want to catch new units as they post.
These terms refer to different things. Cheap or affordable apartments are market-rate units at the lower end of a city's price range — anyone can apply regardless of income. Low-income or income-restricted apartments are subsidized properties (through programs like Section 8, HUD, or LIHTC) that require income qualification, typically at or below 50–80% of the area median income. Both types may appear on Rentler — contact landlords directly on lower-priced listings to ask about income requirements and subsidy acceptance.
Pet-friendly rentals exist across all price tiers. Use Rentler's pet-friendly filter to narrow to properties that accept animals. At lower price points, pet deposits and monthly pet rent still apply — factor that into your total monthly cost when budgeting. Breed and weight restrictions are common even on pet-accepting listings.
Yes — especially on market-rate listings with individual landlords, which make up a significant share of Rentler's inventory. Negotiating leverage is highest in winter (November through January), when fewer people are searching and landlords are more motivated to fill vacancies. Offering a longer lease term, a larger security deposit, or the ability to move in quickly are the most effective negotiating levers.
