Quick answer
Grant keeps the preparation simple: valid government-issued photo ID, a complete employment offer letter, roughly two to three years of address history, recruiter or HR contact information, and an accepted payment method for legitimate application-related charges. Download the offer letter to the phone before tour day so it is immediately available if the renter finds the right apartment. College housing, dorms, roommate situations, or living with parents are normal forms of address history and should be listed accurately. The goal is to be ready to apply without carrying a giant mortgage-style paperwork folder.
