Moving to Tallmadge

Moving to Tallmadge will cost you slightly more than the average property in Ohio, but for safety, quiet and peace of mind, you might not mind paying a bit more. You can find all kinds of rental apartments here, whether you're looking for studio apartments, one-bedroom apartments for rent or full rental homes. You should be in good shape no matter what time of year you're looking. For rental properties, though, summer usually means there will be more places available. Give it a little extra time -- usually four to six weeks is a good range to bank on for finding the right spot.

What You'll Need

When you're starting your search to find an apartment, do yourself a favor and have all your paperwork ready to go before you set out to meet your new prospective landlords. They don't want to have to nag you for your credit history, bank statements, references, letter of employment, etc., and if you don't have it all pulled together beforehand, you might miss out on a great place. Possibly the most important thing to remember, however, is your checkbook. Nothing shows that you're serious about a place quite like slapping down a deposit on it right then and there.
