1

Personal Loans: Unsecured personal loans can be used for financing home improvements. These loans are not tied to your home's equity, however they may have higher interest rates than secured loans.

2

Credit Cards: Some consumers use credit cards to pay their rent. While convenient, be mindful of high-interest rates, and try to pay off the balance quickly to avoid accumulating debt.

3

Government Assistance: Check if you qualify for any government assistance programs or subsidies that can help with housing costs. Some programs provide financial support for eligible individuals or families.

4

Rent Assistance Programs:  Look into local rent assistance programs or charities that may offer support during times of financial hardship.
