Things to Do

Whether you are looking for a one-bedroom apartment or a two-bedroom apartment, gather your proof of income and make sure you have money in the bank before you head out to tour rental properties in Bath. You'll want to be ready to put a deposit down, especially if you want a month to month in Bath or need an all bills paid rental. They go quickly. Expect a credit check and have references waiting in the wings to sing your praises.

Things to Avoid

Don't show up late, miss appointments or tour rentals with six friends or three dogs in tow. Avoid telling landlords all about how your dog has accidents in your living room. If you hate paying bills and can't remember due dates, keep that to yourself too. Vacancy rates tend to be less than 10 percent, and you might just talk yourself out of a place to live.

Neighborhoods in Bath
