Tips for Finding Baby-Friendly Apartments Near You

Kids friendly apartment

Whether you are seeking fully furnished apartments in which to reside during a move or relocation, as part of an extended business project, or to explore living options in a specific area, you may also need baby-friendly apartments as part of the deal. There are a lot of differences between homes well-suited to kids and those that won’t fit the bill. Yet, if you are eager to find fully furnished apartments that are also baby-friendly apartments, you need to start with a few basic concepts:

  • What neighborhoods do you prefer? Don’t begin with a search for places already setup for kids. Instead, consider where you are going to live. You need it to be a good spot for commuting, but you’ll want to be close to shops, parks or outdoor spaces, schools and daycare facilities, as well as restaurants and other activities. Do you want a waterfront location, one with views or something else? Be sure you choose fully furnished apartments in areas you enjoy.
  • Consider what issues baby-friendly apartments must address. Any of the fully furnished apartments available might say they are “kid friendly” but if they don’t have entries suited to strollers and parents with armloads of bags and “stuff”, they aren’t really kid-friendly at all. Also look at things like the numbers of staircases you have to climb, the safety in the overall design of the space (i.e. floating stairs, lofts with open railings, and so on). Generally, if you have an infant or toddler still learning to walk and navigate stairs, you’ll need to be very attentive to such issues
  • How convenient are the bathrooms? Truly baby-friendly apartments have bathrooms or at least half-baths on each level. Parents do a lot of handwashing and cleaning up, and you don’t want to trek up and down a lot of stairs just to keep yourself and your child tidy
  • Are there neighbors? It may not seem like an issue, but if you have kids unused to the sounds of neighbors above, below or alongside you, life in an apartment can be a challenge. The same goes for general street noise and even smells from shared spaces.

Incorporate DocuSign to Your Rental Routine

When you are the owner of corporate apartments and furnished houses for rent, your plate is pretty full. You have a lot of different tasks to juggle, including everything from marketing and sales to dealing with current tenants, issues with maintenance, and so much more. One of the last things you want to mess up are the documents pertaining to your corporate apartments or furnished houses for rent, and that is why Corporate Housing by Owner makes the popular Docusign option available.

What is it? It is a very popular company that has a goal of accelerating business and simplifying life for companies and individuals in every field or industry. Essentially, they were the earliest pioneers of e-signature technology. This uses the cloud and a “System of Agreement Platform” that allows you to digitize all of your signed agreements.

Through this service, landlords that own corporate apartments or furnished houses for rent can prepare the applications, leasing agreements and other documentation needed for each rental, send them to the relevant parties, get them electronically signed and then manage them easily, and all without stepping out the front door. The documents are able to be integrated into a website, mobile app and workflow and eliminate the problems that paper-generated documents create.

Rather than meeting to get an application signed and submitted, meeting to get a lease signed, and meeting for other documentation, owners of corporate apartments and furnished houses for rent can enjoy the ease of Docusign. Additionally, they can present themselves as the ultimate in modern professionalism, making the entire process of finding the perfect rental, submitting an application or rental request, and formalizing it, a matter of a few clicks.

In fact, this technology is so advanced that it can be done via a mobile device. Neither you (the landlord) or your renters have to be at a desktop to get the process both started and completed. Instead, you can do it all from your phone or tablet and from anywhere in the world. Both parties have real-time notifications and tracking, and it makes it easier and faster than ever to rent properties and keep track of documents without lots of paperwork and inefficiency. Handy logs and histories make it a breeze to search for previous paperwork and keep track of clients.

As one of the newest features at CHBO, owners can upload documents to send for electronic signature and manage them in the easiest ways possible. If you are already a CHBO property owner, you can buy credits or visit the site to learn more.
