Rentals are extremely tight still, although looks as if it will slow down in the next few years, when exactly I am not sure.
I would suggest going to
The Sheridan Front Page and getting an online subscription to the newspaper if you only want one for a couple months it is only like $11 I think? If I remember right.. it is really inexpensive. And look at the classifieds daily first thing in the morning, the goal is to be caller number one.
After a year and a half of searching I finally found a rental in Buffalo, only because I was caller #1, then 10 more people called after me.
I had a subscription for a little while and a lot of times I would call too late.
A rental can be found sometimes, just hard work and persistence is the key.
What is your budget? a decent 3 bedroom house will cost at least $900 or more to rent a month currently... although home prices are falling as far as buying something.
