Moving to Collegedale

The saying "don't delay, act today" rings true with respect to relocating to Collegedale in that there's a definite lack of apartment homes or any form of longer term accommodation for that matter. Further, given its relatively close proximity to Chattanooga, Cleveland, and to Knoxville, the demand for rental accommodation remains high.

The Time Factor

Given the demand for rental apts in Collegedale, and given the sheer lack of availability, it's wise to allow yourself at least five weeks to find apartments that are suited to your requirements. Not allowing enough time for your search is a sure-fire way to a major stress-out, and relocating can be stressful enough without this further burden to deal with.

What You Should Bring

When searching for a 1 bedroom apartment for rent or two bedroom apartments, once you've found your ideal place, you're going to need a few particulars so as to be in a position to add your signature to the rental contract. You'll need to place a months' rent down as a deposit, and also to pay a months' rent in advance. You'll also need some proof of ID and proof of income. Ideally, you should bring some character references, and be prepared to undergo a credit check as by way of reassuring the landlord that you're going to be a dependable renter.
