When beginning your search for a property to lease, it is a good idea to obtain local maps and guides.   Use the internet mapping services like Google Maps to find a property under consideration. Then use driving instructions, to get directions and find out how far it is from your job or other landmark.  Try http://schools.ajchomefinder.com/ to discover information on education in the area you select. 

Gather information you will need to complete the lease application in advance. You may need the name, phone number and address for current and prior employers, current and prior landlords name and phone number, your current and prior addresses, bank account info. in case of emergency contact person and their phone number. And, of course, bring your checkbook with two blank checks, one for the application fee and one for the lease holding deposit.

Here is some general information about leasing a home in Atlanta. However, each company sets their own policies and this is merely general information to help you, the leasing prospect, understand what is involved.

Applications fees in Atlanta average about $50. Security deposits are normally equal to one month's lease and are due in certified funds at time of move in. A lease holding deposit equal to the first months lease is generally due with the application and may hold the property for you, once approved. Pet fees or deposits vary among landlords.
