First-Time Renter Tips (super simple)
-
Budget smart: Aim for income ≥ 2x rent and set aside move-in funds (deposit + fees + utilities).
-
Paperwork: Have ID, 2–3 recent pay stubs (or offer letter), and rental history ready.
-
Co-signer option: If credit is thin, a qualified co-signer can speed approval.
-
Renter’s insurance: Required here—grab a policy before key pickup.
-
Tour strategically: Ask to see your actual floor level, parking options, and where your packages are delivered.
