9 Tips for Apartment Hunting
6. Clear your doubts regarding the bills to be paid
Make sure you are aware of all the utility bills you will be expected to pay and that there are no last minute shockers.
7. Find out if owning a pet is not an issue
If you don’t own a pet, you will most likely not be worried about whether the building allows one or not. This might pose to be a problem if you plan on having one later or you already have one.
8. Ensure that the apartment is affordable
Whatever you do, do not over-stretch yourself. While calculating costs, keep in mind that your monthly income should be approximately three times your rent.
9. Take into consideration the lease terms
Make sure you are aware of the kind of rent you might be expected to pay once your lease term runs out.
