When Looking for an Apartment

• Be prepared to rent the apartment on the spot. In the current market, rental apartments rarely stay available for more than a couple of days. If you are not prepared to rent the apartment, do not bother visiting it.
• Bring the following: letter(s) from previous landlord; pay stubs; bank statements; and a check book.
• Be prepared to put down a deposit of one month's rent.
• Check the neighborhood around the building. Look for hospitals, fire or police stations - they are noisy and will cause you to lose sleep.
• Check the space, layout, and quality of the apartment. Make sure you feel comfortable.
• Ask any other questions that are on your mind.
