Understanding US Rentals
Credit History: Landlords check your credit history. As a newcomer, you may need a guarantor or pay extra deposit.
Guarantor: Someone (usually a US resident) who agrees to pay rent if you can't. Some services offer guarantor services for a fee.
Watch Out for Scams
- Never send money without seeing the apartment in person
