When is the best time to look for an apartment?
In the Twin Cities, it’s common to require a two-month notice prior to moving out. So, when possible, get started up to two-months before moving to get the best selection. If you start your search earlier than two months, we can only provide general information rather than specifics on rent, move-in specials and availability.
How long does it typically take to find an apartment?
We have found apartments and moved clients in one day. Typically though, we narrow the search down to the 4 or 5 apartments that best fit your needs. These can be viewed in an afternoon. Application approval takes an average of 3 or more days to process. However, some communities allow us to pre-approve our clients so there literally is no wait to know if the apartment is yours or to move-in.
What qualifications are required to rent an apartment?
Most communities consider your credit, housing history and (verifiable) income when determining whether or not to approve your application. Ideally, a history of timely bill and rent payment is needed along with combined pre-tax income of approximately three times the monthly rent. Some communities also factor felony convictions into the approval process. Many communities limit occupancy to two people per bedroom. To comply with fair housing laws, apartments tend to be consistent with their policies but many factors are considered and policies vary by community. In today’s soft rental market, qualifications are becoming less rigid. Call us if you think you have a credit or other potential problem qualifying for an apartment. We can often help!
What’s included in the rent (e.g. utilities, cable, garage, etc.)?
Many communities include heat, water, sewer and trash removal in the rent but this is not always the case. Other’s that use to charge extra for window coverings, cable TV and garage now include them. At times, this is negotiable. We analyze the numbers and provide a clear and understandable comparison showing which communities are currently offering the best value.
What other fees and deposits can I expect to pay?
An application fee and deposit are typically required at the time you apply for an apartment. Application fees currently average $35.00, deposits average $300.00 - $500.00. Additional deposits and/or rent may be required for pets, poor credit or other application deficiencies. Some communities charge additional administrative fees, amenity usage fees and redecorating fees. We will provide this information before you rent.
