There are a ton of places you can find out sites like Craigs List and Rent.com. You can also try a realtor website too.
If you do find a place you like, find out about their application process, and make an appointment to view the property. Ask lots of questions like: What kind of fees are involved? Does the super live in the building?
If you can, talk to somone who lives in the building (or in the community) and ask them how they like living there.
Things like that.
Also, it would be helpful to bring a camera along so you can take pictures of the places you visit.
Do as much research as you can and ask around. Maybe someone you know is about to move and you can take their place. Good Luck!! =) |

First, last and security deposit.
See a good number of apartments before deciding on one. It's good to get an idea of what is available in the various price ranges before deciding. Also, walk the neighborhood both day and night to be sure you're moving to an area you feel safe. |

look for listings in newspaper and online. www.kijiji.com is a good one.
when going to look at the apartments bring someone with you who has rented before, preferably has had more than 1 in their life, for some experienced tips..
some of mine are:
check the fuse box. Does it look old and battered? is it breakers or fuses? (fuses means the electrical is old)
try the water, sinks and shower. does it run good enough for your liking.
check the appliances. do they seem safe?
look for anything that might indicate that your landlord might be a half azsed one.
check the lease agreement and make sure you understand it all before signing.
finally, he will give you a sheet to fill out for the walk around (if you decide to get the apartment). make sure you point out all damage and wear and tear on that sheet. When you eventually move out, you don't want him blaming these things on you. Trust me, even nice landlords do this. They try to keep as much of your damage deposit as possible. |

Do your research from apartment guides in your community. They are readily available at almost all grocery stores and gas stations. Take your time and research well. You don't want to end up with a one year lease in a place you do not like. Also, most apartments require that you have proof of income and a decent credit rating. |

How? Well, you find a complex and fill out an application. Based on your income and credit score, the landlord then decides if you able to pay for the apartment. If either your income or your credit score fails to meet the landlord’s minimum expectations, you may be allowed to move in if you have a co-signer (a parent, for example), who does meet the requirements.
If you get past that point, you’ll need to put down a security deposit, call the local utility companies to set up service in your name, and then pay rent on time each month. |

be very careful in selecting your first apartment.
reputable landlords usually provide a lot of paperwork that you can fall back on should something go wrong in the apartment. they also tend to require credit checks and credit checks can affect your options and choices.
you'll need, likely as a minimum irregardless of where you go, the first months rent and the same amount in addition for a deposit. (Example, if rent is 1000 per month, you'll need $1000 + $1000.)
make sure you always fill out a damages sheet. this is something that lists any deficiencies or problems in the apartment, as soon as possible. this has saved me and my husband a lot of money. mark down any scuffs, marks on the walls, scratches on walls or floors, broken appliances, anything dirty upon move in. Check your windows for screens, doors for screens. Make sure toilets flush.
check around, if possible, with people who have rented from this landlord to see if they have favorable or non-favorable experiences with the landlord.
find out what utilities (gas, electric, water, garbage, etc) you will be responsible for, in advance of committing to any contract. Also, try to find out what the average utility bill is, for your apartment.
investigate the location of your potential apartment. is it in a safe neighborhood or is there a history of crime in the area? is it convenient for you to go to and from work or school?
don't always jump into the first one you see and like. "shop around". you might find something that works better for you, somewhere else.
i hope this helps. |

You go to the leasing office in the complex (or call the number on a place you've seen.) They will have you fill out a credit applications, which allows them to check our credit to make sure you can pay. They may also ask for personal references. If you are approved (and you can get a co-signer if you need one) they will ask for a security deposit - which is typically the first and last months rent. Then they'll give you a move in date!
The security deposit is for in case the apartment is damaged - they will not give it back to you if it's not left in good condition.
Good luck! |

You look in the newspaper ads for 'Apartments for Rent.' Most will tell you what the amount of rent will be. Call the ones that will fit in your budget and have a look; some landlords will require you to fill out an application. When you have decided on one, you will usually need to have a security deposit and the first month's rent (and sometimes also the last month's). It's a chore but it's worth it!! Good luck! |

Call around the apartments that you're interested in and check the rates. Then go visit them and check out all the layouts in your price range. Make sure you get an all electric apartment. Gas bills can be downright outrageous and being on your own for the first time, you don't want that extra hassle.
Another good idea is to check them out online. They usually have comments from previous renters. They'll tell you how great it is or not from their own experiences.
Once you narrow it down to the perfect one for you, go to the office and tell them you're interested. They'll have you fill out a credit check form, which usually includes some sort of sign-up fee. So be prepared to pay extra for that.
The day you go there to receive your key, they'll ask for the deposit and first month's rent amount.
Good Luck!! ^_^ |
