- Apartment ViewingA person is visiting a potential apartment or house with the landlord or agent, asking questions about the property's condition, utilities, and neighborhood.
- Negotiating Lease TermsAfter finding a suitable place, the tenant is discussing and negotiating specific terms of the lease agreement with the landlord or agent, such as rent price, move-in date, or maintenance responsibilities.
- Signing the Lease AgreementThe tenant and landlord/agent are reviewing and signing the final lease agreement, discussing the security deposit, first month's rent, and key handover.
