Apartment Application Checklist: What to Prepare Before You Apply
Finding an apartment you like is exciting. Realizing halfway through the application that you still need employment or landlord information is less so. If you are considering Park Place Towers in Hartford, CT, reviewing the current application requirements ahead of time can make the process easier to manage and help you avoid preventable delays.
Know What the Application Calls For
Park Place Towers currently asks applicants for a completed Application for Residence, present employer verification with three paycheck vouchers, present landlord verification, and a $50 tenant screening fee.
Applicants who have been with their present employer for one year or less are also asked for previous employer verification. Previous landlord information is required when an applicant has lived at the current residence for one year or less.
The property also states that applicants must have good credit and have been employed full-time for at least one year. Because leasing requirements can change, use the live application page as your reference when you are preparing to submit.
Organize Employment and Income Information
Gathering your employment records in advance can save you from hunting for details later. Have the correct employer contact information available along with the paycheck vouchers requested in the application instructions.
This is also a good time to verify names, dates, phone numbers, and other information that will be used during the screening process. Accurate details make it easier for the required information to be reviewed.
Check Your Rental History
Have current landlord information readily available if landlord verification applies to you. If you have been in your current residence for less than one year, collect the information for your previous landlord as well.
Applicants who are still comparing options can review our apartment layouts and current availability before submitting paperwork. Our one-bedroom apartments and two-bedroom configurations give renters several layouts to consider.
Leave Room for Processing and Approval
Park Place Towers currently notes that a completed application generally takes about three business days to process after all forms have been returned and the information has been verified. Once an application is approved, the current instructions call for half of the security deposit to be paid by cashier's check or money order within two business days.
Knowing those steps in advance can be especially helpful when your move is tied to a firm date.
