Before you sign the lease…
If anything was amiss during the walkthrough or not up to standards, negotiate a lower price to make up for these problems. You can also use yourself as a selling point to knock $50-$100 off the rent. Many apartment owners are willing to accept a little less rent for a responsible, mature tenant who will pay rent on time and keep the place well-maintained. When is the rent due and what is the policy on late rent? What types of provisions are in the lease for excessive noise or overnight guests? Read every line and be sure you understand what your part of the deal is. Are you required to hold renter’s insurance? If so, how much will a policy cost? Is the neighborhood safe? Walk the neighborhood at night (with a friend) and observe your surroundings. Also check online to see if crime reports are available for your neighborhood. When can you move in your belongings? Check the move in/move out dates printed on the lease. If the 1st of the month falls on a Wednesday, can you move in the previous weekend or will you have to do a weekday move? Get a copy of the lease and keep it in a safe place
