East York, PA 110 Apartments for Rent

Some people say that Penn Common in East York is haunted by several phantoms dressed in the uniforms of British soldiers. Legend has it these ghostly apparitions were executed on the order given by Anthony Wayne, a general fighting for the independence of North America. Spooky, huh?

The census-designated place (CDP) of East York resides in York County, Pennsylvania, about 2.7 miles east of York. The little town, which has only 2.9 square miles of land, may not be described as a particularly thriving place when it comes to the business of property rentals. All the same, when you do find something you like, chances are you'll love it! And you'll also love living in this rather Lilliputian, beautifully historic place.

Moving to East York

It's not necessarily going to be an easy task to find a suitable place to rent in East York. Relocating to East York could take a little longer than other, more vacant spaces, as there's a fair lack of rental properties available. Nevertheless, there's rarely an occasion that competition for properties rises, and as such, when something does become available, it's not difficult to play your trump card and snap it up before someone else does. It's wise to allow yourself at least eight weeks to find your dream property, just to be on the safe side.

What You Should Bring

To sign the deal on a rental property, it goes without saying that you'll need to bring a few bits and pieces of gear along with you. A month's rent paid in advance is a good place to start, plus a month's rent for the deposit. Some proof of your ID such as a passport or driver's license will be asked for, and proof of your current income would be good too. Some character references may be required, and your prospective landlord may also ask you to provide a recent credit check. If you can offer up all of this, and if the credit check, should it be asked for, shows up positive, then you'll be all good to get the keys to your new pad and set it up just the way you want it.
