How To Rent An Apartment

What Do You Need to Rent an Apartment?

Found the apartment you want to make a home? The next step towards renting an apartment is getting your information together for your application. If you don't have much rental history, providing sufficient information is crucial to show that you're a trustworthy tenant who can pay rent on time. Here's what you need for your apartment application.

1. Personal contact information

The landlord will need to communicate with you, so make sure you are responsive and provide the easiest way to reach you, be it your phone number, email, or another method.

2. Social security number

Usually, you will need to provide your social security number. The landlord may also ask for a copy of your social security card. This information is necessary for a background check.

If you are looking to apply for a parking spot, you will need to provide details about your car. Have the make and model, year, and license plate number information all on hand. The property manager may also ask for the car’s insurance information.
