Necessary Items You'll Need To Rent Apartments In Abilene, TX

Most people look forward to the day they can break free of their parents and move into their own home. For many, this will mean apartment living. If you've never rented your own apartment before, you may be unsure of what to expect. We’d like to help you in your endeavor. For those who are looking to rent apartments in Abilene, TX, we are going to go over some of the things you will need.

Remember, as well, that you may encounter what you feel are "hidden" fees. Some of the charges – in addition to monthly rent – you may encounter could include the following:

• Admin fees

• Move-in fee

• Security deposit

Now onto the things you'll need for your first rental.

A Checkbook/Bank Account/Bank Statements

Obviously, you're going to pay rent and that's usually done with the check. In fact, to pay any pre-rental fees, you may have to write a check right away.

You may be able to get away with showing a bank statement if you don't have a traditional paystub (see below). It proves you have enough money in the bank to pay rental fees.

Information About Your Pet (If Applicable)

Don't be surprised if you're expected to pay an extra security deposit so you can keep your pet. Even apartments that allow pets may restrict them to a certain size, type, etc. You will need to supply them with any information they require about your pet.

Resume/Job History

You're more likely to pay your rent if you have a history of holding down a steady job.

References

Not to be confused with recommendations (see below), you may see a spot for this on an application. These are personal and professional references who will put in a good word for you and vouch for your character.

Rental History (If Any)

If this is your first apartment, you won't have a rental history. But if you rented before, you'll need to list the places you lived and information about them.

Social Security Number

In order to do a background check and a credit check, the manager or landlord will need this information.

Proof of Insurance and Vehicle Registration

The landlord or manager wants to know what kind of cars they should expect to see on a regular basis if, indeed, you’re bringing one with you.

Recommendations

As mentioned above, these are not references. These are places and people that you have rented from before, if any. Hopefully, if you did rent somewhere, you left the place in good condition, paid your rent on time, didn't make a lot of noise, etc. If you can get a landlord or someone you've rented from to prove that you're a good tenant, you'll stand a better chance of getting the apartment you're applying for.

Identification

This isn't at all surprising. You will need an official form of identification to prove that you are who you say you are.

Pay Stubs

This will help prove to a landlord that you're making the amount of money you said you are and that you're actually employed.
