Structuring Your Rental Application
A cover letter is the "Bow" on your rental application package. It organizes your documents and provides a summary of why you are the best candidate.
What to Include in Your Application Packet
Ensure you have these documents ready combined into a single PDF:
- Cover Letter: Generated by this tool.
- Proof of Income: Last 2-3 pay stubs or an offer letter.
- Bank Statements: Last 2 months (showing you have savings).
- Credit Report: A recent full report (Experian, TransUnion, or Equifax).
- Photo ID: Color copy of potential occupants' IDs.
Dealing with "Bad" Credit?
If your credit isn't perfect, use the cover letter to explain why. Was it a medical bill? Student loans? Landlords are people too—honest context is better than letting them guess.
