Moving can be stressful enough without any unwanted surprises that come up after you have signed your lease. The main way to avoid situations like that is to ask as many questions as you can think of. If you are looking to rent from an apartment complex as the current tenants what they like/don’t like about the complex and why. Even try “googling” the location.
Some helpful things you can do as a renter are:
1. Create a list of previous properties you have rented with the landlords information, rental payment information, and dates of when you resided at the property.
2. Make a list of what is most important to you to have in your living space to what is the least important.
3. Read the lease!! Make sure you understand the entire lease and ask questions if you do not.
4. The middle of the month is generally a good time to start hunting for places to live since leases are generally up at the end of the month.
5. Don’t stress yourself out and wait until the last minute to start looking for a place to live. Find something a few months ahead of time!
