| The apartment management will require you to complete an application. You'll need information regarding where you have lived, your income and perhaps personal references. |
Prepare a summary of information regarding where you have lived for the last five years. You'll also want information regarding the dates you lived at each address, and a name and phone number for each property. |
The application will request information regarding your employment history. This includes where you have worked, when, how much you are/were paid and a contact person or phone number for each employer. |
Some apartments will also request that you provide several personal references. |
It are any "issues", such as credit problems or a criminal record, prepare a summary of these along with an explanation. Reputable apartments will perform both a criminal check and a credit check. If such problems exist, you are better off to address them up-front with the leasing staff. In fact, you should address these types of issues during your initial call to the property. There's no point in visiting a property if they will not lease to you. |
Gather the above information and prepare a one-page summary. You will need this information to complete the apartment lease application. Preparing it ahead of time will make the process more organized and less stressful. |
