Questions to Ask When Renting an Apartment

Moving into a new apartment is exciting, but it can also be a little overwhelming. Thankfully, by asking the right questions, you can minimize stress and make the process as easy as possible. Before signing a lease, sit down with your potential landlord or leasing office and ask them these important questions:

What Are the Terms of My Lease?

First and foremost, you’ll want to read over your lease carefully and make sure you understand its terms. Check that the move in and move out dates are both correct and ensure that all costs, especially rent, are listed accurately. You may also want to ask about your options for renewal at the end of your lease and see whether you can expect the price to remain the same or increase.

Do I Need Renter’s Insurance?

Many landlords and leasing companies require their tenants to have renter’s insurance, so you’ll want to ask whether that’s something you need. Renter’s insurance is fairly inexpensive and can protect you in the case of an accident, so you may want to consider signing up for a policy even if it’s not a leasing requirement.

How Are Maintenance Requests Handled?

Most apartment communities have maintenance teams to address problems such as a malfunctioning stove or broken shower head. Before agreeing to a lease, you’ll want to be sure your landlord or leasing company provides maintenance services and also learn how to submit a request.
