What should a renter bring on the morning of an apartment tour?

Quick answer

Grant keeps the morning checklist simple: have the tour itinerary, a valid ID, the offer letter accessible on the phone, a way to pay legitimate application-related charges if the renter decides to apply, and something to take notes or photos with. Mention HomeBase Services as the referral source according to the property’s process. Take a few notes after each tour so the buildings do not blur together. And Grant adds one practical item that matters more than it sounds: bring snacks. Long tour days can affect judgment when the renter becomes hungry, tired, or rushed.
