Hi Everyone!
Do you know what things to ask, when renting an apartment, before you do the application? Here are a few questions to start with;
- Do I have an apartment locator yet?
- Does the apartments I like have available units in my move out date range?
- Have I seen the unit yet, beyond online?
- Do I know what apartment fees will I be refunded, if I'm not approved?
- How often does the landlord raise rents in my complex?
- Did I get a range percentage from the property manager when they were showing me the apartment, for possible rent increases done here at this apartment complex, before I signed the lease, and if so will I be able to afford a rent increase if I stay another year, by projecting this range percentage on my rental rate now?
- Has it ever flooded here before?
- If I lose my job or even relocated, will my landlord offer me a relet option?
- Do I even know what is a relet fee, and how they work?
- When I'm touring the apartments, did I even ask the property manager or leasing agent what are other owners paying here for their light bills to similar units at what I'm looking at in a range, if can't release the accurate numbers?
- Have I researched the apartment complex on Google?
- Is the parking horrible, and do I have a backup plan, if I really love the complex by just getting reserved parking added to my rent, and it fits in my rent budget?
- Will I be allowed to waive the maintenance crew from coming in my apartment, if I'm not home, by allowing them to come when I at home?
- If I have more than 1 vehicle, how do I handle the parking by not getting my vehicles towed, if I don't want to pay for reserve parking or a garage?
- Did I find out how many parking spaces I'm entitled to, when the leasing agent or property manager first showed me the available unit?
- Do you take video recordings along with my inventory and condition form that's due immediately within 24 hours of move-in?
- How many days does the landlord give me on notice when my rent is being raised?
- How long does it take for the maintenance men to handle my repair request, if I can't get exact timeframe, can I get a max day range?
- What are the maximum late fees I can occur per month if I'm late starting at 30 days?
These are just a few questions I listed that may help assist you to ask before you do your application. Its always wise to know this kind of stuff in advance so when or if you may experience it, you wont be surprised from the possible ramifications of ignoring it, before you signed the lease.
