How To Find A Rental Home In Cobb County Georgia

To begin your search for a new rental home you should be well prepared at least 30 days before you plan to move. If you're a Section 8 recipient you'll need to be prepared sooner because the process takes approximately 60 days with the Cobb County Housing authority.

You will need to furnish the last 2 months of check stubs totalling at least 2.5-3 times the rent amount. For example if you're looking at Marietta Georgia rentals in the $1000 price range then the total monthly income for all adult occupants in the home should total (1000x2.5)=$2500 or higher. This does vary from time to time, it depends on the landlord.

Your credit, income and rental history will be verified. Some landlords are lenient on tenants with bad credit. You will have to pay for a credit check and sometimes for a background check as well.

You will need to have your move in amount saved up. For a $1000 rental home in Cobb County Georgia you will need $1000 for 1st months rent & $1000 for security deposit = $2000 total. Some landlords are lenient with the deposit, but it's rare and it will be easier for you to get approved if you have it all up front.
