Finding a great place to rent in the Quad Cities can be a daunting task.
First of all you need to figure out where you're going to live...Iowa or
Illinois.
Ok, now that you have that figured out, you are going to want to narrow down
whether or
not to pay a premium for a house or apartment in town, or to live just outside
the
core cities and save yourself some money.
Next, you're going to have to find a suitable apartment.
Just when you think you have found that "perfect" place
in a recently constructed housing area, you contact the landlord
only to hear them tell you that you are looking at an income restricted
apartment or townhouse.
If you are a student, or your income is small enough
to qualify for the subsidized housing, you just hit the jackpot...You have just
stumbled upon a pretty nice place to call home...For very little money!
Unfortunately, if you are like the majority of people looking for housing, you
probably don't
fall into this category...or you simply don't want to live in a
place where the tax payers are fronting a great portion of your rent payment,
even if you do qualify.
That's OK...There are still plenty of rental properties out there, you just have
to do your homework to find them. Most of the nicer rental units in the Quad
Cities go pretty fast to locals who hear about them by word of mouth. If you are
from out of town, check out the local newspapers in addition to the local
realtors, who often represent some of the nicer properties in the area.
There are several very good landlords around the
Quad Cities. The majority of
the ones who do not have income restricted
apartments are generally good people.
If they have open units, and you can prove that you are a good risk, you
shouldn't have too much trouble finding yourself that perfect apartment in
Moline, Davenport, Bettendorf, Rock Island, or any one of the surrounding
cities.

What are reasonable prices to charge for housekeeping services?
I live in the Quad Cities area in Illinois (I know it can vary depending on the location). I really just don't know how to go about this at all, honestly. Should I charge by the hour, a set fee depending on the house size, or...? I was thinking $20-$25 per hour or $100 for a small house, $125 for average size, or $150 for a large house. I was also wondering if anyone could tell me, on average, what would be acceptable to charge for deepcleaning or 'extras' i.e laundry, cleaning an oven, etc. Thanks :)

I would like to know if there is somewhere I can see a list/schedule/calendar of all of the bands playing around the Quad Cities on any given day? I have been unable to find anything like this. There is a website called Quad City Music Live but it has not been updated for quite sometime.
