7 Things To Know Before Signing a Lease!

Being an adult is all fun and games - until it's not. Rent, phone bills, WiFi, landlords, neighbors, pets, car payments, insurance, RESPONSIBILITY! I moved into my first legit apartment with a landlord whom I did not know one year ago, and I thought I would share the lessons I learned with you. It was an expensive lesson, but I made the mistakes so hopefully, you don't have to.

1. Double-check, then triple check the landlord/property management company you're signing your lease with.
2. Don't forget about utilities! You may think you can afford a $1,250 rent, but can you when you pile on $300-500 utility bills every month? So long, plane ticket budget.
3. Check out the neighborhood during different times a day to really understand the area, and Introduce yourself to your neighbors before moving in if possible.
4. Understand what is expected of you as a tenant, from snow shoveling to garbage
5. Ask for a walk through with the property manager/landlord before and after moveout, if they argue against it, red flag!
6. Vet your Landlord/Property Manager just as much as they vet you - you don't want to sign into an agreement that's not in your best interest, nor do you want to put down almost $2k into what you thought was a refundable pet & security deposit only to learn your landlord has been sued multiple times bc they wrongfully kept deposits.
7. DO NOT LET YOUR LANDLORD PRESSURE YOU INTO SIGNING YOUR LEASE!
