How to Get Addresses for Apartment Rental Properties
If you're contemplating a move and have identified an apartment you are interested in, obtaining its address can help you consider important factors such as school zoning information, proximity to your school or job and available community resources near the area. Many apartment property managers advertise their rental properties in magazines, newspapers and online, and they will often advertise the same property in multiple places. If you have identified a possible apartment using one resource which does not list the address, you may be able to find the address elsewhere with a little persistence.

Tips & Warnings
Some apartment complexes allow individuals to borrow the keys to rental properties for viewing purposes. You might be required to leave your driver's license or state-issued ID before obtaining the keys.
Visit the apartment at different times of day or night to give you an idea about noise levels, neighborhood traffic flow and to meet your potential neighbors.
Write a list of questions and bring them with you as you visit different rental properties. Ask the landlord questions about any needed repairs, average utility bills, crime and safety and how to handle emergency maintenance requests.
