If you’re in the market to rent a home, you may feel intimidated by the application process. Although it’s important to get the details right, finding the right place to live in is definitely possible. Taking a few steps at the beginning of your search can ensure that you end up in the perfect home for you. At Anderson Communities, we work hard to match people with homes they will love. Here are some of our top tips to help you through the process.
Find The Perfect Home for You
To end up in the right place for you, the first step is to figure out what you want. This decision cannot be made on an emotional reaction alone, so start with two lists to guide you. The first list should be all the things you need to have. This may include the number of rooms, how much rent it costs, the location, and anything else that’s non-negotiable.
Next, work on a list of details you’d love to have but can get by without. This might be things like having a park nearby or an on-site gym.
Once you have a clear picture of a home you’ll love, it’s time to look at actual properties. Take a tour in person or online to get a clear picture of what the rental looks like.
At Anderson Communities, we have a wide range of rental communities available, including apartments, townhomes, and single-family homes. We included many amenities for free, such as in-home washers and dryers, cable, internet, and the opportunity to build your credit score as a renter. We’re proud of the homes we offer and the communities they’re a part of, with walkable neighborhoods, welcoming green spaces, and plenty of paths to bike or walk.
Submit Your Application Online
The next step toward “home sweet home” is filling out an application. Most rental agencies have moved to online applications, which is a convenient way to get the job done.
The best way to make your application shine is to fill it out completely and accurately. Providing all the information and documentation they ask for is helpful for the landlord and speeds up the approval process.
You’ll be asked to provide proof of your income, information about your job, and your rental history, and be asked for permission to run a background and credit check. To make the application process as quick as possible, be sure you have these facts and files on hand. The rental market can be very competitive, so it’s to your advantage to be ready to go when you find the right home.
When you’re applying, one thing to watch out for is any fees you may be charged as a renter. Some landlords slip in charges in small print, so you can be surprised by bills you needed to prepare for. Anderson Communities pledges that we will never spring any hidden fees on you. Our prices are fully transparent, so you can trust the numbers we give you.
