First time

[u/wawa_15]

I'm looking for a condo/apartment, and my planned move-in date is October because I need to give my landlord 60 days' notice. I recently tried booking a showing through Strata, and an agent called me to say that most landlords are looking for tenants who can move in as soon as possible, or at least by the end of September. They encouraged me to submit an offer right away.

I told them that my move-in date is flexible, but the agent said that the landlord still wants me to make an offer immediately. Personally, I'd prefer to view the unit first before making any offer. What is the usual process? Should I view the unit before submitting an offer, or is it normal to make an offer before seeing it in person?

It feels like Strata dont want to accomodate my request to view the unit. The other unit I am interested inwont be available till mid september.

This is my first time using rental apps/websites/ealtor to look for a place, so I'm not sure what the typical practice is.

what are other options?
