When thinking of moving into an apartment, people do a lot of research into picking the right apartment for them. After all of that is done and the choices have been narrowed down to a couple of places, it’s time to submit an application. There are four main considerations when applying for an apartment lease, and they are a person’s income, rental history, credit history, and criminal background reports.
Income
A person’s gross income (income before taxes) needs to be at least 3 times the amount of the monthly rent. The only exceptions are when a person is new to the area but can prove through tax records that they’ve met or exceeded the income before relocation, or if they have sufficient money in the bank to cover the rent for the duration of the lease they are applying for. A cosigner is required if the minimum income requirements are not met.
Rental History
If a person has any rental history, they shouldn’t owe other apartment communities money, or they should be in the process of paying them out. First time renters are usually asked for an employment certificate, otherwise, a cosigner will be necessary.
Credit History
Bad credit history that has records of repossessions, evictions and bankruptcies won’t necessarily preclude a person from getting an apartment, but tenants would usually require higher deposit from people with bad credit history. People with bad credit history will also be disqualified for lease specials like free first month rent that apartments usually offer.
Criminal History
It is recommended for people to be upfront with their criminal histories during the application. Some misdemeanors may be allowed. Felonies are almost always rejected.
When submitting an application, a person needs to pay the application fee, administration fee, and in some cases, a deposit. Application fees depend on the apartment community but is usually around $45. The application process will verify your rental history, credit history, and income.

You don’t need a job but you need money or a skill. If you buy an apartment building, can you manage the apartment building? That is a skill. If you have that skill, then you should find a partner that has the money but not the time or skill to manage the apartment building. FLRealtyTeam
