As you take a look at all of the available apartments that you can choose from, you will get a lot of vibes from them from the moment you walk in the door. Some will impress you immediately and others are going to be off and you will want to leave almost as soon as you come inside. Even if the apartment looks amazing from the get-go, you need to ask the apartment manager and the landlord about the  details of it and the lease before you go to sign anything.

Only when you are armed with the relevant information will you be able to compare it to some of the other apartments that you check out and figure out which one is closest to what you want. You can’t just go on some of your gut feeling here, though that can help. You need to gather the facts and go from there.

So, what are some of the questions that you should ask when you go through a new apartment? These can include:

# Are there any utilities that you include in the rental price and if so, which ones are included and which ones are not?

# What are the average cost for all of the utilities that are provided in the apartment? Remember that this can vary depending on your usage, but it gives you a good started point to consider.

# Whether the apartment is furnished or not. It will usually cost more if you get an apartment that has everything.
# Whether they allow pets and if they do and you are bringing a pet with you, what the deposit and fees will be.

# Whether there is parking for your bike or your car and what the fees will be if you need any of these.

# Whether you have access to any courtyard space, roof space, and other shared amenities in the building to enjoy.

# The type of lease that the landlord would like you to sign and whether there are some different options that are going to work better for your current needs. Some landlords are flexible and some are not.
