Best houses for rent in Joliet
Last updated
Who’s eligible: Active listings for single-family houses. Ranked by our published method. No listing can pay to appear here or to move up. A “Featured” label means the landlord paid for placement elsewhere on the site; it has no effect on this ranking.
This list fills in as eligible listings are posted.
The method below applies automatically to every new active listing.
How this list works
Every active listing for a single-family house is eligible. Townhomes, duplexes and condos have their own pages under Joliet rentals.
Houses are scored with the formula on How we rank: rent compared with the Census median for that town and bedroom count (50 points) and listed amenities (30 points). Most single-family rentals aren't part of an apartment community, so the resident-review part usually doesn't apply and the other two parts are rescaled to 100.
Renting a house
Leases for houses often make the tenant responsible for lawn care, snow removal and some utilities that an apartment would include. Read who handles what before comparing rents. If a house is offered as rent-to-own, read our rent-to-own guide first.
