Narrowing Down Your Options

There are many things to consider when choosing the rental property that is best for you. Make sure you have background checked both the landlord and the property before making your decision.
Now is a good time to reference those photos and videos you should have taken during your showings to compare the properties you are be considering. 
Resources to Help Narrow Down Your Options

Rental Applications

Before you sign a lease, you will have to fill out an application for the unit you want to rent. Rental companies will often have you pay a fee, not to exceed $25, with your application. If you think you would like to apply for a unit, make sure to be prepared with all the necessary information at the showing.
