How's your credit rating? You'd better find out.
Your landlord is going to want to know whether you're a good risk before renting you an apartment. You don't want any surprises. Your prospective landlord certainly doesn't either. Get a copy of your credit rating and take it with you when you go to look at apartments. Make sure it's current.
Poor credit may make it difficult for you to rent the apartment you want, but it won't necessarily make it impossible. If you can find someone to act as your guarantor, a landlord may accept you as a tenant. Make sure that your guarantor knows that a letter isn't going to be enough; his or her credit worthiness will be assessed.
It's a good idea to have letters of reference from former landlords and employers, as well as your current ones. (You may, however, want to skip asking your current landlord for a letter of reference if you haven't mentioned your moving plans as yet.)
