Proof of income may include recent pay stubs from the last 1-2 months or a letter from an employer. Bank statements are also acceptable. If you are a student, please provide proof of enrollment, an acceptance letter, and, if applicable, a transcript. Credit Information: Many landlords will run a credit search. Bring a copy of your credit report. Rental History: Contact information for former landlords, and perhaps references. For background checks, you will need your Social Security Number or ITIN. If needed, a cosigner who has a good credit rating and income is required.

What are the best neighborhoods for young professionals and students in the San Francisco Bay Area? Do you have furnished or roommate-matching options available?
San Francisco: Mission District and the surrounding areas of Hayes Valley and Noe Valley offer easy access to public transportation and a wide range of amenities for students and young professionals. East Bay: Downtown Oakland and Uptown Oakland are excellent housing options, with easy access to BART and proximity to campus. Peninsula and South Bay: Areas along Caltrain corridors, such as Burlingame and San Mateo, are popular with tech workers and students who commute to companies and campuses. Availability can vary by building. You can filter for furnished listings and ask the leasing team about roommate matching services. When you ask for help, be sure to include your desired move-in date and budget as well as lifestyle preferences.
How much should I budget for utilities and move-in expenses in Bay Area rentals? Are utilities included in rent?
Deposit: usually equal to a month's rent, but some properties may require two months. Rent for the first month is due upon signing. In some buildings (especially in San Francisco), rent for the last month may be due. In some cases, there may be a fee for the application or credit check. Rent is prorated if you move mid-month. Utility bills are typically the responsibility of the tenant. Water, sewer, and trash are included in some older or newer building rents. Others bill these separately. Gas and electricity are usually paid for by the tenant. The amount can vary depending on usage. It is common to pay between $60 and $150 per month, depending on the season and size of your unit. Internet or cable is usually paid for by the tenant. Some shared apartments or all-inclusive units may include utilities in the rent. This is not common with individual leases. Ask the landlord or manager of the property to confirm what is included and if there are any restrictions on utilities or renters' coverage.
