Finding an apartment in New York City can be both exciting and overwhelming. To help you sort through all the information, here are a few tips and some useful links.
What You Will Need
When you are ready to fill out an application for an apartment, most landlords will need you to provide a Letter of Employment or copies of past 2 years tax returns if self-employed, current bank statements and a government issued photo id such as a driver’s license or passport.
What You Should Know
