If you have never filled out an application to move into an apartment, you may feel like the whole process is going to take a long time and is a lot of work. But it is important to bring along the right documentation and to fill out the application as much as possible so that the landlord is more likely to let you move in. A landlord can choose to not rent to you if you do not meet all of their requirements.

Of course, you are going to need to bring along things like your most recent pay stubs, your bank statements, and even some ID to prove who you are. But something else that you will need along the way is recommendations to show that you will be a good tenant. Not all landlords will require this, but it can be helpful and will give you a step above the rest when you are looking to get into an apartment that is in high-demand.

Having a recommendation from a previous landlord will show the current landlord that you were a good tenant in the past. You do not have to get a full letter all the time for this to work. Most of the time, a potential landlord will be happy to just accept some basic information about the apartment you were in before and then they can choose to give them a call and ask for a recommendation if they need it. The letter can be an added bonus that will help.

Before you move out of your current apartment, take the time to ask your landlord for the referral letter. This will give them time to write it and then you can take the letter with you when it is time to move. If you have never had an apartment before and this is your firs tone, then it may be a good idea to look into some personal references to help out here and to make you a good candidate for the apartment.
