Every potential tenant has a list of things that they want to have in an apartment. Even if you are on a limited budget when shopping around for an apartment and are most worried about the budget, you may still have some requirements like the number of bedrooms or making sure that you are in a safe neighborhood and close to work. Before you begin searching for a new apartment, you need to sit down and make a list of all the things that you must have in any  apartment that you choose.

You can also extend this list and include items that would be really nice to have, but which will not limit you or make it so you wouldn’t move in. Having both of these in place will help make the transition smoother when looking for your new apartment and will ensure that you pick one that works the best for your needs.

Some of the non-negotiables that you can look into if you are uncertain about where to start include:

# A dishwasher in the kitchen.

# The parking situation and whether you will need to park in the street, pay for parking, or what other options you have.

# A good air conditioner to keep you safe in the summer.

# Having a laundry room that is either in the building or in the unit itself.

# Enough room to store the items that you are not using immediately

# Natural light that can make you feel more at home in the apartment.

# The type of flooring that is found in the apartment.

# How big the apartment is and the amount of square footage

# Which floor of the building you would prefer to live on.

# Whether they allow pets to move in and what some of the rules are before you bring along your pet

# How many bedrooms or bathrooms are in the apartment and if it is enough for you

# Whether you have some access to outdoor spaces around the unit or the complex.
