Seems the only other option is an agency. I honestly don't know where to begin...
Go for a walk and in between dodging e bikes look up at the windows and see who is advertising a place for rent
In the north many put a sign and a number in the window facing the street
(and know they are not advertising Hookers)

99% of the time, it's an agent. The billboards around the city also have only agents.
Does your local city have a ganji or 58 site? Check out the main sites. If your Chinese isn't great just use Chrome and most of it is understandable. You can choose to search for rentals from private landlords, agencies or both.
Go and check some websites like Ganji and 58.com ,If It shows"个人“ means you gonna deal with Individual person,Not an agency,no need to pay the commission of half month rent..once you find it,Let your wife to talk to them in Chinese and she can probably get some discount usually between 100-500RMB.
Good luck.

I thought 个人 meant that they were just looking for a roommate. It's usually a guy looking for a female roommate.
Thanks. I'll be checking out some more gerens.
