"Recent NYU graduate starting my career in product design. I'm a responsible, organized person who takes pride in keeping my space clean and being a considerate neighbor. While this is my first solo apartment, I've been managing shared spaces successfully for four years in college."
While this is my first solo rental, I want to share some context: I have 4 years of shared living experience in university housing with no issues. My credit score shows as "Building" because I'm new to credit, not due to any negative history—I've had a credit card for 2 years with 100% on-time payments. My parents have offered to co-sign if needed, and I have 3 months of rent saved as emergency funds.
Parents willing to co-sign the lease. Combined household income over $250K/year. Property owners in New Jersey.
