When you are ready to move out of the dorms and off campus, your attention can turn to one of the nearby apartment complexes that lease to students. Before you take a tour or submit an application, you can benefit by understanding some of the criteria that you as a renter will be expected to meet.
If you are a first-time renter, you could be required to meet more stringent criteria than someone who has an established rental history. By ensuring that you can satisfy these standards, you stand a better chance of being approved for one of the UT Austin West campus apartments today.
Good References
As a renter, you will be required to provide two or three rental references who can attest to your ability to pay rent on time and be a good tenant. If you are just moving out of the dorms, you could list the head of the university’s residential life department. You can also give the name and contact information for one or two of your resident advisers.
If you have no established rental history, you could be required to have a parent or other adult co-sign on your lease. This co-signature ensures that the apartment complex will have someone from whom to collect the rent and pay damages if you do not uphold your contract.
