With a little bit of Team Circl organization and planning, you can find your ideal apartment for your October 14, 2016 budget within a reasonable amount of time. Here is a comprehensive guide to finding a great apartment for rent within your budget that meets your needs: Decide how much you want to spend. It’s all too easy to overlook your budget when you are enchanted by a beautiful apartment, particularly when you are viewing the space in person. This is why you need to set an appropriate budget from the start, well before you even begin to view any apartments. Take some time to crunch the numbers and figure out how much rent you can afford per month. You should take into consideration all of Save web pages as PDF manually or automatically with PDFmyURL

  2. your recurring expenses including groceries, utilities, parking, cellphone, Internet and/or cable, entertainment, etc. If you are struggling to find apartments for rent within your budget, you may want to consider bringing in a roommate. In the end, establishing a price range will ensure that you don’t run into a desperate situation where you are eating nothing but instant ramen noodles every night just to make rent. Decide what features you need. Before you even begin browsing the listings of apartments/condos for rent, make a list of all the things you are looking for in a place. This includes ideal neighborhoods you wish to live in, the number of bedrooms and bathrooms, the square footage, and specific amenities. You should then organize this list into three key categories: must- haves; nice to have, but can do without; and dream apartment features. Narrow down your search. Visiting every apartment rental you are interested in can not only be time-consuming; it can be entirely unnecessary. This is why it is important to narrow down your search to a handful of apartments that seem to stand above the rest of the online listings you have seen.

  3. Schedule an in-person viewing for these choices to save time. Stay on top of things. When you have looked at several apartment rentals, it might be hard to tell one from the other. This is why it is imperative to keep track of any key details, such as the amenities, rental rates, security deposit amounts, and contact information or things can quickly get stressful. One option to help you get organized is to make a spreadsheet. But perhaps the more efficient option would be to use CirclApp’s desktop and mobile platform. The centralized platform combines the benefits of a property listings site, a tenant-landlord management system, and a contractor marketplace for a fully transparent, verified, and accessible experience. Look at places with roommate(s) If you’re going to be sharing accommodations with one or two roommates, you should invite them along to any viewings you schedule. After each viewing, you can discuss it together and what you like and don’t like about the place. This will save you both some time and unnecessary stress, ensuring that you are both on the same page in finding the ideal home. Save web pages as PDF manually or automatically with PDFmyURL

  4. Inquire about discounts This is one of those things that the majority of people don’t even consider, but it may surprise you that sometimes landlords offer special deals or discounts based on the move-in date. For example, a landlord may offer your first month free on the condition that you sign a longer lease. Either way, asking for a discount never hurts to ask. Determine utility costs So you have found your ideal home and are eager to sign the lease. But before you do, be sure to find out what the average utility costs are for the apartment rental. Failure to factor in this expense can come back to haunt you as utilities can be a significant added cost. Don’t be afraid to negotiate Even if you have found the perfect place and you are sure you want to take it, you should still make an effort to negotiate with the landlord on the price. Let the landlord know that you are considering a few other options and that will give you some extra leverage in knocking off a few dollars off the monthly rent.

But if you follow the aforementioned steps and stay organized, you are sure to have success.
