Preparation for Your Move

Moving can be stressful and time-consuming, but it doesn't have to be. There are a few ways you can prepare before you begin your search that will streamline the entire process and help to make your moving day positive and exciting. Start by marking the move date on a calendar, hopefully having given yourself at least four, if not six weeks to search. Now that you have the day marked, begin making a must-have list. This list should consist of amenities you do not want to go without. It helps to make the list with the most important, I'm-not-going-to-budge items at the top. If the number of bedrooms is most essential, that should be first.

If you have a preference for a stand-alone home or condominium as opposed to an apartment, that goes on the list too. Be sure to include the number of bathrooms and showers, preferred locations (a realtor or agent can help best with locations) and whether or not having a washer/dryer or covered parking will be deal breakers. You get the idea! Another important aspect of your search for a condo or house to rent is the gathering of your personal information. You will need your identification, your credit and rental history, employment references and enough money available for application fees, pet deposits and required deposits for holding your new place once you've found it. All of this is standard and necessary when you begin searching for a rental, so being organized and proactive will give you that added edge sometimes needed in the hunt for a perfect apartment in the city.
