If you want to rent a home or apartment in Woodfield, then you're in luck. This is not tough to do and you will find plenty of southern hospitality to help you out along the way! You will, of course, need the standard first and last month's rent along with a security deposit. In this area pet deposits are the norm in apartment complexes but rather rare in single-family homes. A monthly fee for pets is even rarer.
You will need deposits for the utilities and it's generally a good idea to take your rental agreement with you when you apply for services. The deposits are run at about the national average for utility deposits; if you are moving from someplace within the service area you can generally transfer your electric service and skip the deposit.
