For Riften, join the Theives Guild, she will then call on you do some quests.

There's also a quest to track down a Skooma dealer - I think you talk to Wujeeta to start that one.

I believe you are given the base Riften house free after completing the Imperial side of the Civil War.

THIS!

You have to talk to the Argonian in the Fishery, she's got a skooma problem and will tell you about the leader of the group selling skooma in the city. then you can talk to the Jarl about the "skooma problem" and she'll ask you to take them out. After that, you have to help 3 people in the hold (if you haven't already) and buy the house and then she'll make you a thane, give you some weapon, assign a house carl.

woohooo you guys rock! it worked

 

[Jarrod]

So you can only get that house if you go imperial?

 

[thatonetallguy]

nah it has nothing to do with imperials, i got it from doing skooma quests, and helping 3 people

the quest giver is a lizard woman who sleeps in the bunkhouse, and works at the fishery
