The rental process in New Jersey
First, set your budget. Most renters spend about 25% of gross income on rent, and landlords often look for annual income of 40 to 50 times the monthly rent. Second, gather your documents: employment letter or pay stubs, tax returns, photo ID, previous landlord details and references. Third, plan your move-in funds: first month's rent, a security deposit, a credit check fee and any move-in fees. The apartment is not yours until the landlord countersigns the lease.
