Monona, Wisconsin is technically a suburb of Madison, considered to be a part of the Madison Metropolitan Statistical area. However, that doesn't mean that it's just some neighborhood where people that spend their time in Madison go to sleep when they're not at work or play. In fact, Monona has strong ties to its culture and history, and has a number of things to do, whether you're an outdoorsman, history buff, or someone who just likes having a good time. Monona started out as a village in the 1940s and 1950s, which eventually grew in population and geographical size, and by the 1970s, Monona became the place we know it today. Monona has about 7,500 residents, all of which enjoy calling this small Wisconsin town home.

Moving to Monona

The first step to moving is thinking about what you want in a house rental in Monona. Do you want it to be somewhere big? Do you want it to be in a specific location? Do you want to have an easy and convenient commute from your one bedroom apartment? Do you want to have amenities like a pool or washing machine? Decide what you must have in your new home, then use that info to find potential new apts for rent. Browse an apartments locator, then narrow your list of homes down. Once you have a group of homes you like, make an appointment to see each of them with a realtor or potential landlord. You're going to want to be ready to apply for an apartment in case you see something you like. If you don't, someone might snatch it right out from under you! To apply, gather things like your bank statements, tax returns, pay stubs, a letter of employment, and any other proof of income. You're going to want to prove to your potential landlord that you're an awesome person and renter who pays rent on time. To do this, you can also gather letters of reference from friends and former landlords. Who better to attest to the fact that you're a great tenant?
