I remember
February 12th, 2010
The title makes me sound ancient…but yes I remember when looking for a rental property meant going to the real estate picking up a list and then telling them you are interested in a certain property. They then would take your drivers license and hand over the key so that you could go and inspect a property. If you like it you submit your application and if not you repeat the procedure for other properties.
Now you need to submit interest either online or by phone. Then you wait ….They then inform you of an inspection date, usually a few days to a week away. So you turn up for inspections with about half a million other people. If you are not interested…..you go back home and repeat the cycle.
I have a gripe as it takes so much longer to find a place and you are dependent on other peoples schedules etc. In the meantime you could be living on the streets before you find a home….there has got to be a better way.
