Chad | What questions should you ask when looking at apartments? |
Particularly what questions would help determine how the apartment staff will act once the lease is signed |

Ask neighbors, Staff will probally only say the good things since they want to you buy/lease
Ask why the last people left

Drive through the complex at different hours of the day and night. Check out the type of neighbors you would have. |

make sure nobody died in there 1st and asking questions is pointless the people that work at apartment complexes are constantly changing they just want to make a buck by telling you all this good crap. you should drive thru at night esp. on weekends to see how they are also look at the cars parked in the lot if they are all trashy looking you know what to expect |

How much is rent?
What services does the apartment complex provide?
Does the apartment complex require annual maintenance or updates to it's apartments?
What amenities does the complex have? |

don't ask the apartment staff...
Ask the other residents!
Find them outside... or knock on a few doors... People will almost always be excited to tell you about their experiences. |

if you are worried about the staff i would recomend asking the other tenants or people that live arount the area. they would know best. |

Walk around the buildings in the complex & pay special note to the care of the landscaping, what's on the porches, the stains on the asphalt, condition of paint, etc. That will tell you a lot. Here's a checklist I use when shopping, I just fill it out for each one, then pick the best one:
Name:
Contact:
Address:
Telephone:
Website:
Rooms:
Square Footage:
Rent:
Deposits (refundable?):
Lease:
1st & Last Rent Reqired:
Power:
Gas/Electric:
Water:

Additional Fees:
Cable:
Washer/Dryer:
Gated:
Security Guards:
Waterbed:
Pets:

Try and speak with some of the other tenants in the building. Ask if there is a building supervisor available 24/7 and whether there is emergency maintenance help available. Find out what is included in the rent eg heat, water etc. Also ask what happens if you are late with the rent and if you are, how will you be notified. Find out about what their policy is should you need to move before the lease is up. Hope this helps ! |

Ask things like:
- Is there a 24 hour number to call in case I have an emergency problem?
- Do you have a maintenance staff? How can I reach the staff?
- Who do I go through if I have a complaint about other tenants?
- What will you do if I DO have a complaint?
Questions along those lines are probably best... |

The main thing you want to know is do maintenance repairs get fixed when needed. You won't get a straight answer from the front office. It's best to ask tenants who live there already. Find out what happens when the hot water heater bursts in the apt above you. Who is responsible for the damage to your stuff? Ask about renter's insurance when posing that question so there are no surprises when it happens. |

First, get everything in WRITING!!! Questions, how much per month,does it include utilities(some or all),security deposit(how much), is there a lease or is it month-to-month,how much notice to move out? when can I move in? If you're paying CASH, get a receipt from the landlord with their/your signature,are pets allowed? Is there an additional deposit for pets(refundable or non-refundable?), do I get a parking space(is there a fee), That's all I can think of now, but use common sense! Oh yea, take pictures with a newspaper so you can clearly see the DATE when you move in and out of all the rooms you rent! |

Talk to some of the tenants. They'll tell you what they think of the staff.
Ask, if people stay long or is there a big turn over.
Ask, how much are the utilities (if not included in the rent) this will give you an idea of how well insulated the unites are.
Look are at the grounds, the gutter, just survey the entire site, If repairs are needed you may want to look else where for a home. |

-Ask what kind of residence live in the apartment buildings. (Age, families, etc)
This will give you a good idea of what to expect from your neighbors once you move in. It'll also be a good guideline to let you know your boundries with the staff members; how loud you can get, how late you can make noise, how often you can do certain things, etc.
-Ask what they're rules are.
If you're informed on what they expect from you, then you can easily follow those rules.
-Ask about rent
When is it expected? What do they do if it's late? How long will you have before you're evicted because of nonpayment? |
