So you want to rent a house and get more space, a garage, maybe.  What do you need to have to start this process? You need to be ready, and the first 2 questions you must ask yourself is:  1.) am I ready to rent a house and; 2.) when do I need to move in said house? Seems like silly questions but I've had experiences, especially lately, of customers that are ready to look at rental houses and are not really in a position to act on securing these rentals.  I don't know about you, but what if I came across the perfect rental home, with the perfect location and rental price and not have everything I need to act on it, I would be upset.  Why put myself through that torture?OK, so for starters, you need to:Truly Know How Much You Can Afford to Pay Each Month.Most landlords will qualify your rent payment on 30 - 35% of your income.So if you make $3000 per month you can qualify for up to $1000 per month rent. Some will go as high as 40% which will allow you up to $1200 per month in rent.  That's what they'll qualify you on, but you also need to do your own budget.  Look at all your expenses, not including your rent, and compare it against your income.  If your expenses and your income do not leave you much for saving after rent is paid you may want to whittle that qualifying rent payment down a bit so you can have some money to put in savings or for an unexpected emergency.  You don't want to be in  a situation where you have an emergency and you have to forgo paying a bill or worse, your rent, to address the emergency.  That is the start of a downhill spiral.  If you're trying to get your credit back on track to actually buy a home, you'll want to avoid a surprise like that one which can derail your efforts.  Be realistic....and very honest with yourself.  Once you know how much you can comfortably pay you need to.....
Define Your move In Date.  Another obvious point but once you know that you'll know when to really start looking and putting in place other things that will make your rental search easier. Looking 6 months in advance is a waste of time. No rental is going to last that long unless it's in pretty bad shape or overpriced for the market.  Thirty to sixty days is a good time to start looking once you know your move in date.For more information click Davis County Home.Once you do know that date, the next thing to do is....
Put Together A Deposit. If you don't immediately have access to funds for a deposit, have plans to get it together even before you start looking for a home.  Well how much will you need? Most deposits will be at least 1 month's rent...at least.  With more challenging credit it could be 2 months. So be prepared for that. Many....and I pause to make a point here...MANY people go out SERIOUSLY looking for rental homes and don't have funds for a deposit. I can't tell you why. It's like buying a house with not a penny towards the purchase.  Even "no money down" purchases require some form of earnest money to take a home off the market.  If you're not sure weather you'll need more than 1 month's rent for your deposit, why not save 2 months? It may be harder, and take more time, but if you don't need all 2 month's rent you can bump your savings account with the difference. Once you've got your deposit in place you'll need to.....
Plan  For Other Deposits.  Many utility companies will run your credit if you are not transferring your service, which usually occurs when moving to a different county. They may also require a deposit and it's going to be based on your credit.  This is not a surprise you want to have.  It can get pretty expensive if you have a water, gas and light deposit requirement, in addition to first month's rent and your rental deposit.If you've planned in advance and are ready, you can look and apply for the perfect home and know with confidence that if your application is approved, when they ask for the rent and deposit, you'll be prepared.  Pat yourself on the back at that point and move on in!
