Incoming Epic employee apartment questions
Hi everyone,
I’m an incoming Epic employee and just started apartment hunting, but I don’t know Madison very well yet.
A lot of apartments want income that’s 2.5x the rent. I saw older posts saying most places were okay with just the Epic offer letter before your start date — is that still true?
I’m also graduating college this year and don’t really have rental history yet. Were most people okay with just an offer letter + credit score, or did you need a cosigner?
I’d rather not involve my parents if possible.
I’m debating whether downtown is worth the higher rent since it seems possible to avoid getting a car right away if you’re near the Epic bus/shuttle routes. If anyone has recommendations for specific apartments/buildings that worked well for Epic commuters, I’d really appreciate it.
Thanks!
