Create as many email alerts as possible

Do not waste time going around all the real estate agencies in the neighborhood by telling them about your needs. Most of the time, they don’t have any offers for you. Some agencies will recommend that you leave your contact details so that they can call you back when they have an offer corresponding to your request. There too it is a waste of time, because your contact details are not the only ones that the agency has. The odds of being called are infinitesimal. In short, the best solution for being informed of properties for rent remains an email alert.

Invest time in your research

You are not asked to take special holidays to look for an apartment to rent. You are also not asked to remain amorphous waiting for the manna that will fall from the sky. Dedicate for example your break hours or in the evening and perhaps the half-days of your weekends. Indeed, you must find time to contact the agencies and especially to make the visits. Generally, it is often difficult to contact the agencies responsible for renting an apartment. Therefore, you must try several times and if you are lucky and the apartment is not yet booked, you must be able to visit the property in question. The visiting hours are generally imposed on you.

You need to be responsive

Once you’ve received an alert about your request, don’t let it get you ahead of the game. You are not the only person looking for an apartment to rent. So, call within the hour following receipt of the alert or at most the following half-day. If you get the landlord’s or estate agent’s answering machine, don’t be discouraged and don’t just leave a message. Put yourself in a state of competition and the price is the apartment for rent. So, after leaving a message, call back within the hour and don’t hesitate to send SMS. Sometimes it’s easier to answer.

Make sure the rent is within your reach

Don’t get carried away without thinking about the most important things. It is true, you have found an apartment that meets your needs and everything that goes with it. However, are you able to bear the cost? Don’t rent an apartment that will cause your financial downfall. Opt for an apartment that meets your needs and whose expenses you can assume without major difficulty.
