Is It Possible to Use the Internet to Actually Lease an Apartment for Rent in Chicago?

How to Use the Internet to Lease an Apartment for Rent in Chicago

In addition to using the Internet to search for apartments for rent in Chicago, in some cases, you may be able to close the deal on your computer or by phone. You'll still need to execute a formal rental agreement or lease to finalize the arrangement since original signatures are typically necessary.

It is still usually preferable to physically visit the Chicago home rentals that interest you. While you can certainly get a wonderful idea of Chicago apartments for rent that appear to match your wish list, even fabulous pictures you may find when viewing the listing do not provide the full story. But, should a physical visit be impractical because of timing or distance reasons, you still may be able to seal the deal on your new residence.

Once you've determined the homes for rent Chicago that fit your criteria, contact the landlord, rental agent, or management company and learn more. If you're comfortable with what you read (e-mail) and/or hear (phone), and a physical visit is impossible, you could attempt to at least “reserve” the property, pending the execution of a complete rental agreement or lease.
