First of all - layer up. The temperature difference between Jerusalem and Tel Aviv in the spring can be major, not to talk about the humidity of Tel Aviv, so I had to come very prepared. But don't forget - you have to look presentable and serious if you want to even be considered as a renter.
Second, since I don't have a car, and even if I did, I wouldn't have brought it to Tel Aviv due to the fact that it's either impossible or expensive to find a parking spot (hence - public transportation), wear comfortable shoes. I planned my route very carefully, and scheduled the appointments in a 1 hour difference - a must if the apartments are in different areas of the city, and you consider the conversation with the apartment's owner. Oh, and that leaves you some room even to buy icecream sometimes.
Carry a list of questions, and if you have it - some information about the property. Coming prepared does not indicate only that you're serious, but it also helps you focus, and not get distracted by all the information that the owner's throwing at you. Only you know what you're looking for, so don't forget to come with good mood.
And - last but not least - charge your cell in advance. No need to state why.
