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.
What you get in a luxury building
Amenities vary by building. Newer communities in and around downtown Hackensack include The Brick, The Walcott, Print House, Ivy and Green, Ora and The Jefferson, and amenities across them include pools, fitness centers, rooftop terraces and co-working spaces. Tell us what matters most, such as a gym, laundry in the apartment, parking or pets, and we will match you with a building.
