NYC Apt Rental Documents
Organize Your Documents
We submit your complete application package positioned for
approval We recommend our clients have all required documents organized
when they begin viewing apartments. It is not unusual for a
desirable apartment to be available this afternoon and gone tomorrow
morning. You would hate to miss an apartment opportunity because you
were trying to assemble documents to support your application.
You will want to have clear copies of all original documents
needed. We will be happy to assist you preparing your documents. If
you simply don't have a requested document we can work through it.
