An apartment hunter is someone who is on the lookout for a place to stay in. To make the search process less tedious, an apartment hunter must follow a certain plan of action. He must look into the rental listings and check out the availability of apartments based on his budget, the locality he wants and other factors. Once he selects the address, he must visit the apartment during daytime to get the right picture of the place. The apartment hunter must check out the facilities available at the place. It is important that there is a shopping center close by. The place should also have a good school situated nearby. The apartment hunter has to then check with the landlord about the rent expected, the amount of deposit and other details. After working out these details he should check if the place has ample parking space and laundry facility.

Inside the house, it is crucial that the bathrooms do not have leaking faucets. The number of bedrooms in the house, the flooring of the house and the access to patio, rooftop and garden are other factors to be checked out. The apartment hunter should make sure that a proper trash removal system is in place. He could also check if there's a fireplace, swimming pool and workout area.

Once he approves the place, the apartment hunter should expedite the process by providing the landlord with details regarding his credit report, tax returns and references from previous owners. Carrying a filled in application form before meeting the landlord would help speed up the process and formalize the deal.
