In major cities, rents in 2022 are quite high.

Before entering into a contract, any landlord will have to make sure that the tenant is solvent. If it is a U.S. resident, his or her credit history can be traced. But a person who has just arrived in the country and is looking for a place to live for short or long term rent is difficult to check on this principle.

Therefore, the tenant himself must prove his solvency by providing the following:

A bank statement that will show that he has enough money in his account to pay the rent.
A check from your employer showing that your salary is double what you paid at your job.
If neither is possible, you have to convince the landlord that you have the funds and that the rent will be paid on time without any delays.

It is very important, before you start renting, to have a document that proves you are in the country legally, i.e. a work visa, a green card, etc.

True, there are 10% of cases where even an illegal alien can find a roof over his head, but it is harder to do. When all the formalities are settled and the company, which offers to rent a house, agrees to provide it to the client, an application is submitted.

It is important to know the following:

A one-time fee per person is charged.
If for some reason the contract was not concluded, this fee is not refunded.
When you sign a rental agreement in the U.S., you should consider some nuances:

Before signing a contract, it is necessary to carefully inspect the apartment and all, even the smallest faults (badly screwed outlet, torn wallpaper, peeling paint from the walls, and so on) to report that these circumstances were entered in it.
Most often, the contract is for one year, during which the tenant agrees to pay the rent faithfully, and the one who rents, not to increase the monthly fee. But you can conclude the contract “a month in a month” in which the tenant has the right to move out at any time by giving prior warning to the owner. But in this option for the latter remains the right to raise the price at its discretion.
Tenant’s responsibilities include the fact that he must rent the housing as it is received, so it is important to carefully inspect the apartment before signing the contract.
American housing companies usually charge an immigrant double for the first month when they sign a contract. When the contract is cancelled, the second part is refunded.

You should read the contract carefully before you sign it, so you don’t get in trouble if you are not careful.
