so, I put in an application for an apartment (I'm 22, first time renter)
They need to do some kind of background/credit check thing online. I put in the application on Saturday and their internet was down, they said they call me Monday (today) afternoon.
Well, no call today.
I'm very anxious. I'm wondering how soon can I call without being obnoxious?
You don't have to be a landlord to answer, I just especially wanted their input.

Call tomorrow, (Tuesday)
Landlord appreciates it!, so does apt. mgr.!
It shows your interested.
Your not "obnoxious"!
Wish there were more people like you!
Background checks don't take long,
Maybe he/she is deciding who's best,

I've been working in real estate for 5 years or so, now. I'm not an agent, I'm just in the industry. I'd say you can call first thing tomorrow. Don't think that you calling is going to make them deny your application. Leasing agents get paid on commission, usually. They want your approval just as much as you do. If they don't approve you, remember there are people out there with horrible horrible credit ( I was once one of them! ) and they rent, too. Just try another place.

Call tomorrow. Landlord's make their money when they're places are full so I'm sure they won't think you're being obnoxious. And if you call back several times and don't get a response I'm also sure that are plenty of other places that would be more than happy to rent to you.

For corporations that own the rentals it may take a week. That should be the latest. When I did mine for little investors it was 3 business days. Its ok to call after one week then everyday if you wanted to but that might get them mad. You have the right to know as soon as possible. Just call and tell them you are looking a two other places and need to know so that you dont loose them.

there is not any doubt you will might desire to bypass ultimately, so negotiate with the owner and have them launch you out of your hire without early termination costs and penalty. Ask for decreased lease for the subsequent 2 months and start up searching for a sparkling place to stay. In as we communicate's international, i could be uncomfortable having strangers walking via my abode and between my assets. it relatively is a controversy of protection.

Just call on Tuesday. I won't think you're being pushy because you need to know if you should continue looking or if you have a place to live.
Regards
