But what are the processes you need to do before you can actually rent a Lethbridge apartment? After you have found a prospective landlord, you normally have to complete a certain application form given by the said owner of the unit. Afterwards, you will pay a specific amount for application fees and for your credit report. This amount may range from 50 to 200 dollars depending on your landlord. Credit reports are used by property owners to verify if the person applying for an apartment has a stable source of income. If you are a student, you need to have a guarantor or someone living in the country who will support you in terms of paying for the rent. In addition, some of the common documents, which the landlord may ask from you, include the contact information of your previous landlord, a letter from your company that declares your salary, and copies of your recent bank statement and pay stub.
