What are the most important things to ask a landlord before renting out an apartment?

Besides carefully examining the lease agreement, you may want to talk to some of the current neighbors to get a good idea about the area and on dealings with the landlord.


bob
ask nothing , look at the appartment then read the contract....

if you ask anything his answer will not matter if its not in the contract


lovargirl158
this is your first apartment.... theres things you could ask them
like is there a laundry area, could you bring your own, have any pets, in case of emergency who to call, what are the hours to contact the main office/superintendent..... how long should you send in your monthly payments and to whom......


Mr nice guy 2U
whens the rent due?
are there any sex offenders in the neighborhood


Byebye
Definitely ask things like how long is the lease for, can it be renewed, if there is a problem how would you be able to get out of the lease early. Are utilities included, what is the cost of a security deposit, can you paint the rooms, how long has the space been vacant, what is the grace period for a late payment. I suppose I would consider that sort of thing to be the most important. Hope this helps!


hunkra2001
How much is the rent and when is it due? Do I get my deposit back. How much notice will I get before the rent is increased. How much notice must I give before I can move?


NoahHope
1) Is the Deposit, Refundable? They never want to pay up!
2) If the Previous Tenants had pets? Cause fleas can become an issue , in the carpets!
3) Ask what Requests are , ie. Rules (for example No Pets, Keep the lawn Mowed, etc
4) Take a good look around , there may be repairs , or water in the basement
5) Finally, and this is all I can think of, Ask for all Keys to the Apartment , and make sure there are no spares (you don't want a creepy landlord lurking around when your not there)


jupina61
if they have keys and are going to be coming in even if you are not home. Can we make arrangements if the rent should be late. Will they fix any problem or can you and then take it off the rent. If you are paying a deposit you need to go threw every room and make a list of all visual things you see wrong so you don't get blamed for what others have done.Do they know about how much the utilities run. Lawn care , garbage,
and ask if you can have a large family gathing or party or cookouts.Ask if they know of any neighbors might give you trouble or if it is a quiet neighborhood.

Is there a charge for repairs done (e.g. fixing water heater) in the apartment?
What utilities are paid?
What utilities aren't paid?
Whose responsibility is the lawn?
Are there extra fees for anything?
Are fish considered pets or accessories?
In which cases would my deposit not be returned to me? Cite examples.

Hope this helps.
