A Guide to Renting in Bay City

You will most likely not have to spend endless hours house hunting in Bay City to land the rental property of your choosing. The average vacancy rate in Bay City is 11 percent, and the city streets are chock-full of rental houses of various types, right from single-family homes to row houses and high-rise apartments.

Before you start your search for apartments in Bay City, make sure that you have all the necessary documentation. Most landlords will ask for your social security number to look into your financial history. Also be prepared to fill out a background check, wherein you will need to submit your bank account information, possibly the addresses of your previous residences, and personal and professional references. Hopefully, not your mother or twin brother.

Check to see that all of the utilities you will need once you rent a studio apartment are in place prior to signing the lease and moving in. If you have a car, you will also need a parking spot. Many apartments do not have specific parking spots for residents, so make sure to look that over before you commit. Otherwise, maybe ditch the car for a skateboard.

Once you sign the contract, you will have to pay the security deposit as well as one or two months' rent. So be prepared to do without the fancy wine for the next couple of months.
