Top 5 Things to Consider Before Renting an Apartment
Rental Agreement & Length of Lease
Find out how long the lease runs. If you're a student and want a 9 month lease, make sure that that's what you get. Most leases are for a year; find out when you will be expected to move out. Read the contract carefully before you sign it. How long you are locked into the lease, the beginning and expiration date, the rental price and what is included in the rent, notice of termination and responsibilities for repairs should be mentioned in the agreement. Take a copy of your agreement.
