If you want to find a good apartment, you need to search… you need to check out numerous places and weigh their perks and drawbacks. Here are some tips for getting the information you need:
- Know your price – have a max rent based on your budget in mind. This will help you gauge the different perks offered and prevent you from paying too much after being awed by the complex’s hot tub.
- Read reviews – before you even check out a place, read some Yelp or Google reviews on the apartment building/complex.
- Check out the room – apartment complexes usually show you a sample room; try to view the one you’d actually be living in instead.
- Don’t sign right away – leave the apartment or complex and at least sit on the decision over lunch.
