They probably check your credit to make sure that you're not late all the time or something similar.  Your annual income is probably one of the biggest factors assuming that you don't have a spotty credit history.

Look for adds for roommates.  Someone else getting the lease will help with the credit problem.  Ask among your friends first.

If the landlord does not agree to give you time to inspect, then most likely there are some things that might not be working (such as the stove or laundry equipment). The bottom floor is better if you don't like climbing stairs or taking an elevator every time you come and go from the apartment. Careful and don't get taken!

Depends on what city/state you live in. In my area, it looks like a certificate with a stamp (state seal) and signatures on it.

Savvy landlords should ask all prospective tenants to fill out a written rental application that includes the following information:\nEmployment, income, and credit history \nSocial Security and driver's license numbers \npast evictions or bankruptcies, and \nreferences. \nBefore choosing tenants, landlords should check with previous landlords and other references; verify income, employment, and bank account information; and obtain a credit report. The credit report is especially important because it will indicate whether a particular person has a history of paying rent or bills late, has gone through bankruptcy, has been convicted of a crime, or has ever been evicted.

They should have given you a form to write down any thing that is wrong with the apartment. If they did not I would just write every thing down and give it to them, make sure that you keep a copy for yourself (have whom ever you give it to sign it and make a copy for you). There are things that they can do to get that smell out.

Just say some thing to the extent of:\n\n\n\n"Date: (Put today's date)\n\nDear Management:\n\nI will be moving out of apartment # (give your apartment number) on (give the date). My forwarding address is: (if you know the address where you will be moving to it is a good idea to include that).\n\nThank You,\n\n(Sign your name)"\n\n\n***** Now the problem I see right now as a property manager is if your lease is up at the end of the month you will not be giving a FULL 30 DAY NOTICE. You will probably be reasponsible until 30 days from the date you have turned in your notice.*****\n\n\nGood Luck

If you rent your home you will probably have a tenancy. There are several different kinds of tenancy, and your rights will depend on which kind you have. In this section you can find out which tenancy you have and what rights this gives you.\n\nyou can find out what kind of tenancy you have, read an overview of the rights and responsibilities shared by all tenants and landlords, and find out more about tenancy agreements and leases.\n\nTenancy checker\n\nIn order to know your rights as a tenant, you need to know what kind of tenancy agreement you have. There are several different types of tenancy, but our quick and easy tenancy checker can help you to work out which one you are likely to have. More >\n\nTenancy agreements\n\nA tenancy agreement is a contract between you and your landlord that sets out your rights to live in a rented property. This page explains what a tenancy agreement should contain and how you can ensure it's fair. \n\nNon-tenant occupiers\n\nNon-tenant occupier is the name given to someone who has an agreement to live in a property but does not have a legal tenancy. You can find out if you are a non-tenant occupier and what your rights are on this page. \n\nOverview of rights\n\nWhatever kind of tenancy you have, whether you rent property from the council, a housing association, a housing co-op or a private landlord, you and your landlord have certain rights and responsibilities. This page gives an overview of what these are. More \n\n\n\n 4 things you must do before renting\n\nIf you want to rent your house, here's what you need to do:\n\n    * Be flexible. If you need to rent your house, chances are others do, too. Your house may go unrented for a few weeks or even a few months. If you rent your house to a company, particularly for use by an overseas employee, it may require a "diplomatic clause" that allows it to break the lease with 60 days' notice. "Prepare for some down time," advises Hans Stahl. "A two-year lease doesn't necessarily mean two years."\n\n    * Talk to your accountant or tax advisor. Renting has tax implications for landlords. Rental income is taxable. Some states revoke the homestead exemption on your property taxes if a house is no longer owner-occupied. You can depreciate a rental property, which can offset your property-tax gain, but also be aware of depreciation recapture, in which depreciation allowances are taxed, upon sale, as capital gains. "That's one thing I wished I'd known about going in," said Robert Haskins, who rented his house in Maine for four years.\n\n      - Advertisement -\n    * Call your insurance agent. Your owner-occupied homeowners' policy likely won't cover your house as a rental. Stahl said to expect about a 50% increase in your annual premiums once you move out and renters move in. He also advises setting up a limited-liability corporation, or LLC, and signing a quit-claim deed to turn your house over to the LLC. This will protect your personal assets, should you be sued by a tenant or guest. An attorney can set this up.\n\n    * Know your market rate. Rules of thumb may no longer apply, depending on where you live. "In Detroit, for years, it used to be $1 of rent per square foot," said Stahl. "Now that's more like 80 cents." But in college towns, it could be far higher, even if you're not renting to students. Know your local occupancy rate and set your rents accordingly. This is a good place for a reality check, too; if your mortgage payment is already above what you could charge for rent, you're going into it backwards. It's probably time to lower your selling price and get out from under it

In order to sign a lease you have to be an adult which is 18.  However, a lot of landlords will not rent to someone that young because they have no credit history, job history, or renters history that can be checked to see if they are reliable.

To find the best apartment, you really need to combine all the resources. I would definitely comb through the newspapers and online websites. First, identify a neighborhood that you like.\n\nI would also talk to 2 or 3 real estate agents to get a balanced view.\n\nAnd definitely don't rely on their words. Inspect the apartments. It is because finding the right apartment is a very personal matter. It really has to "feel" right.\n\nAnd if you have identified a place you really want, do some extra legwork. Visit the place at different time. Talk to the neighbors. Talk to the concierge. Talk to the nearby shops.\n\nJust thinking about how much time you will spend in the place. It is worth the effort.

Depending on your contract or lease and the state you live in there are different laws state to state,her right to enter your apt if not outlined in your lease is invalid.\ntake pictures of your inside apt and outside your apt as well as any other conflicts you mentioned,indiscreetly let them see you doing this,if they ask why tell them just taking Pict's.\nThis sounds as if they want you out to re-lease your apt,the pictures will be of importance if they wish to break the lease or try to evict you and break your lease.\nBe sure to read your lease!!!!
