You\u2019ve looked at countless apartments online, scheduled walkthroughs all around the city, and finally found your dream apartment. What&#8217;s the next step?<\/p>\n<p>Now comes the actual rental application process \u2014 a detailed step that gets you closer to settling into your new home. This part often involves gathering paperwork, paying fees, and screening.<\/p>\n<p>To help you navigate this crucial final stage, we compiled a quick guide detailing the apartment application process and exactly what you should expect.<\/p>\n<h3>1. Fill out a rental application<\/h3>\n<p>Let&#8217;s start with the basics: the apartment application itself. If you are interested in a property, the next step is to reach out to property management by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cirtru.com\/blog\/how-to-stand-out-while-filling-the-rental-application-form\">filling out a rental application<\/a>. If you have a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rentcafe.com\/blog\/apartment-search-2\/renting-an-apartment-with-a-cosigner-all-you-need-to-know\/\">cosigner<\/a> (also called a guarantor) or plan on having roommates, they will also need to do the same. Essentially, every person planning to move in needs to fill out a separate lease application form. Most properties have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rentcafe.com\/onlineleasing\/apartmentsforrent\/register.aspx\">online application<\/a> forms, many of which include pre-qualification tools to help you see whether you\u2019re likely to be approved before applying, but you can also do so in person. It&#8217;s best to have the necessary information easily available as soon as you take the very first steps to renting an apartment.<\/p>\n<p>Each form is different from the other, but expect a typical <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lawdistrict.com\/rental-application\/\">rental application<\/a> to require the following information:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>photo ID<\/li>\n<li>name<\/li>\n<li>address<\/li>\n<li>phone number(s)<\/li>\n<li>email<\/li>\n<li>employment and income information<\/li>\n<li>previous address<\/li>\n<li>pets (if applicable)<\/li>\n<li>emergency contacts<\/li>\n<li>background information<\/li>\n<li>landlord references<\/li>\n<li>personal or professional references<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Some rental platforms will allow you to create a virtual folder with all the documents, so you can easily apply to your dream apartment.<\/p>\n<h3>2. Pay the apartment application fee<\/h3>\n<p>The application fee funds the credit and background checks done on potential renters. However, many states and cities now regulate these fees, placing caps on how much landlords can charge and specifying whether fees must be refundable if your application is not accepted.<\/p>\n<p>In some cases, the application fee may be accompanied by processing fees. Ask your future property manager about all the applicable fees associated with the application process for the property you\u2019re interested in. You can also ask what fees are refundable in case they decide to go with someone else.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-140365\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rentcafe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/62\/2023\/10\/apartment-application-process.jpg\" alt=\"A real estate agent supports the apartment application process, guiding buyers through mortgage loan approval and ensuring a smooth real estate investment with expert broker assistance.\" width=\"960\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rentcafe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/62\/2023\/10\/apartment-application-process.jpg 960w, https:\/\/www.rentcafe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/62\/2023\/10\/apartment-application-process.jpg?resize=500,208 500w, https:\/\/www.rentcafe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/62\/2023\/10\/apartment-application-process.jpg?resize=768,320 768w, https:\/\/www.rentcafe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/62\/2023\/10\/apartment-application-process.jpg?resize=150,63 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>3.\u00a0Expect credit and background checks<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"2275\" data-end=\"2380\">During the rental application process, you will likely need to agree to credit and background checks.<\/p>\n<ul data-start=\"2382\" data-end=\"2845\">\n<li data-start=\"2382\" data-end=\"2653\">\n<p data-start=\"2384\" data-end=\"2653\"><strong>Background checks typically focus on criminal history and rental records.<\/strong> However, some jurisdictions (like California and Washington) have enacted &#8220;fair chance&#8221; housing laws, limiting how far back landlords can look or restricting use of older convictions.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"2655\" data-end=\"2845\">\n<p data-start=\"2657\" data-end=\"2845\"><strong>Credit checks give landlords insight into your financial reliability.<\/strong> These are typically soft pulls, meaning they don\u2019t affect your credit score \u2014 a concern many renters have.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-start=\"2847\" data-end=\"3037\">If you have a low credit score or are recovering from past financial hardship (e.g., medical debt), it&#8217;s best to disclose this. This is where a cosigner or guarantor may help (see Step #5).<\/p>\n<h3>4. Prove you can pay rent<\/h3>\n<p>An important part of the rental application process is providing proof of employment or income. Most landlords will ask for copies of tax returns, recent pay stubs or other forms of receipts from an employer.<\/p>\n<p>Depending on your job, you may also provide recent bank statements, copies of client contracts, or copies of one or two W-2 forms if need be. Many rental platforms now allow secure digital income verification, helping streamline the process.<\/p>\n<p>Employment and credit checks usually take the longest, which is why most applications can take up to 72 hours. Rental application process time also varies depending on the property, so make sure to check with them for the best estimate.<\/p>\n<h3>5. Figure out if you need a cosigner<\/h3>\n<p>If you lack rental history, have poor credit, or your income is less than three times the monthly rent, you might need <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rentcafe.com\/blog\/apartment-search-2\/what-is-a-lease-cosigner\/\">a cosigner<\/a>, often called a guarantor. This is someone with strong credit who agrees to be legally responsible for the rent if you\u2019re unable to pay.<\/p>\n<p>Cosigners or guarantors may step in when first-time renters have no way of accounting for rental history or commitment to monthly rent and bill payments. You might need one in case your monthly income is less than three times the rent. You may also look at a cosigner as a way to strengthen your application and improve your chances of approval. Think of it as an additional referral.<\/p>\n<h3>6. Show them that you are an agreeable renter<\/h3>\n<p>Usually, landlords want to know from previous landlords what type of tenant you are. Were you a bit on the noisy side? Did you\u00a0abide by the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rentcafe.com\/blog\/apartmentliving\/breed-restrictions-what-should-you-know-when-renting-with-pets\/\">pet policy<\/a>? All this usually comes in the form of a letter from the former landlord.<\/p>\n<p>Although typically not required, you might want to think about attaching a landlord reference to the application as another way to improve your chances of approval or simply to set yourself apart from other applicants. For some properties, you might even find it mandatory to do so.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-140366\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rentcafe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/62\/2023\/10\/show-that-youre-an-agreeable-renter.jpg\" alt=\"A cheerful woman stands in the doorway of her modern apartment, warmly inviting a guest inside\u2014capturing the spirit of hospitality and the comfort of apartment living.\" width=\"960\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rentcafe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/62\/2023\/10\/show-that-youre-an-agreeable-renter.jpg 960w, https:\/\/www.rentcafe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/62\/2023\/10\/show-that-youre-an-agreeable-renter.jpg?resize=500,208 500w, https:\/\/www.rentcafe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/62\/2023\/10\/show-that-youre-an-agreeable-renter.jpg?resize=768,320 768w, https:\/\/www.rentcafe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/62\/2023\/10\/show-that-youre-an-agreeable-renter.jpg?resize=150,63 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>7. Have good personal references<\/h3>\n<p>Personal references make all the difference, and good personal references might make or break an application \u2014 especially if you don\u2019t have a rental history. Much like landlord references, it means someone vouches for your character and dependability. While landlord references serve as a good benchmark for future landlords, personal references may come from a friend or colleague who knows you and can attest to your integrity.<\/p>\n<p>The apartment application process might seem like a lot of work, but it\u2019s all worth it in the end. If everything goes well, the final steps to renting an apartment is signing the lease and picking a good moving company.<\/p>\n<h3>8. Sign the lease<\/h3>\n<p>You\u2019ve passed the rental application process, inspected the premises, checked for parking space, made a quick note of the neighbors, and went through your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rentcafe.com\/blog\/apartment-search-2\/ultimate-first-apartment-checklist-2024\/\">checklist of essential things you must do before you commit<\/a> to a new apartment. It\u2019s time <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rentcafe.com\/blog\/apartment-search-2\/money\/hidden-costs-of-renting-an-apartment\/\">to sign the lease<\/a>!<\/p>\n<p>This is also when you\u2019ll pay upfront costs, such as the security deposit. However, many landlords now offer deposit alternatives \u2014 such as &#8220;no-deposit&#8221; or &#8220;deposit replacement insurance&#8221; \u2014 where you pay a small monthly fee instead of a large lump-sum deposit. These can be more manageable, especially for renters on a tight budget. This is also the time for any last-minute questions you might have, such as how soon can you get the keys to the place or whether you should bring your own toaster.<\/p>\n<p>It goes without saying that reading the lease agreement carefully is essential. You might be blinded by the floor plan and storage space your new place has, but make sure you take your time to understand the details of your lease before planning your move-in date, such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rentcafe.com\/blog\/apartmentliving\/tips-tricks-renters\/breaking-lease-minimal-penalties\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">what happens if you must break the lease<\/a>\u00a0in case of unexpected circumstances.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, if you\u2019re eager to apply, but still on the lookout for that perfect apartment, take the first steps to renting an apartment and have a look at available listings on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rentcafe.com\/\">RentCafe.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You did it!
