If only we had a nickel for every call I get from future employers wondering if I can assist them locate a home to rent in Berkeley! The truth is that I can't help since, unlike with homes for sale, we don't have access to a centralized database of properties for rent.
Customs differ greatly by location, but there is no such thing as a berkeley real estate rentals agency in the East Bay. Because there is so much demand for apartments in Berkeley in this area, landlords have no need to pay a fee to an agent to assist in finding a renter, and so that service segment does not exist.
However, just like when purchasing a property in a competitive market, there are several methods to stand apart, and you don't have to take risks. You will succeed with some work and dedication.
To successfully get a Berkeley rental, follow these steps:
1. Make a "Tenant resume"
to set yourself apart from other organizations that fill out recruitment forms. Your CV should include information about your profession, pay, children, pets, and anything else the homeowner would be interested in knowing about you or that will help you stand out as a reliable employer. Attach your credit report rather than waiting to be asked.
2. Browse Craig's List on a regular basis
As soon as something appears, pounce. Yes, you will have competition from a large number of other possible tenants, but many of them are slow to reply. Make it a habit to check numerous times every day, and don't be hesitant about using all accessible contact information.
3. Look for ads at the Cal housing office
To have access to their online posts, you must be a student, staff member, or alumnus (or know someone who is). However, many landlords only post via Cal, making it an extremely important resource.
4. Make contact with local property managers
When you notice an item on Craig's List that is being handled by a property manager, give them your renter CV and get in touch with them on a regular basis to stay on their radar. Make yourself a noisy wheel.
Choosing the ideal rental (or any rental) in the East Bay is difficult, much like finding the right property to buy. It might be difficult to compete with so many other applications. But if you prepare and present yourself properly, use the materials mentioned consistently, and are courageous, you will succeed!
