People use real estate sales agents to sift through thousands of homes to find a handful which meet all the buyer’s requirements. Why not use a licensed leasing agent to do the same thing with apartments?
Finding an apartment today can be overwhelming — there are thousands of rentals listed online. Let a local leasing agency (like Apartment Search in St. Louis) narrow down your choices for you — the same way a real estate sales agent does for buyers.
Knowledgeable apartment locator agencies are available in most major cities. It’s an option more and more smart, busy renters are turning to…
Apartment hunting can be tough. Hiring an agent might be wise when looking for an apartment. An agent can help you find what you are looking for and quite often, find you deals that you didn’t know where available.

I found this article today in reference to smokers in rental units and a new law implemented in Buffalo, New York. I found it especially timely since in the past week we have had two tenants that were moving from their current apartments due to smokers in their buildings. Both tenants were highly allergic to smoke and were told there were no smokers in the building.
In one case the lease required tenants to sign a non-smoking addendum. When the current tenant complained to the landlord that the new tenant that had recently moved in downstairs was a heavy smoker the Landlord requested she prove it with pictures and 2 witnesses! The tenant had resided in the building for over 3 years and felt it wasn’t her responsibility to enforce the owner’s lease and is moving out.
The smoking issue has really become a “hot button” for many of the tenants and owners we deal with. Most of our private Landlords request non-smoking tenants and it is well received by most of our customers. I don’t doubt similar laws like those in Buffalo & other cities will be in place nationally soon.

Oooh, it’s a slow news day. This is the best I could find this morning. Nothing new — you are probably already using the Web to search for apartments.
I do disagree with the statement, “You can find out all the information before spending your time going to each apartment building.” You can find out a lot online, but not everything.
You definitely want to visit your top three options, and physically go into the actual apartment you would be occupying.
In St. Louis apartments, there can be a big difference between a community’s display apartment and the unit you will physically occupy — words of wisdom from the Apartment Search experts!
There are many benefits to search for a new apartment over the internet; this is because you can find out all the information before spending your time going to each apartment building.

Hard to believe discrimination continues in this day and age, but it does. Tolerance is a much-needed value in today’s world – not just in housing, but in life. Remember the old adage, “You can’t judge a book by its cover.” So don’t.

Wow, I just read an article (and posted the link on our blog) that seemed to say the exact opposite. I am, however, an optimist at heart — I’m going with this one!

Q. We moved from our rental apartment more than three months ago. Since then, our deposit has not been returned. How can we get our money back?
A. State and local rules vary, but the odds are good that your money will be returned. The first step is to see what is required in your jurisdiction. Speak with a local community housing office or legal clinic. Or, as a start, go online and search for “rental deposit rules” in your state.

When I started thinking about moving, I got online and started searching for places to rent. When you don’t know a certain area it is so hard to figure out exactly where to start looking. All the online websites require you to really know the area you are looking at or you have to search through hundreds of apartments that meet your criteria but might not be where you want.
Your service is so much better. You give what rent.com or apartments.com etc offers, a database of all the rentals, only you give someone personal service and information about the area and each rental…….why wouldn’t a renter use you!! I did, and I will again.
