This is one of the most important tips for renting, but many people still forget it because not all landlords ask for it. Having renters insurance not only protects your personal property but also provides liability coverage in case somebody is injured at your new place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A rental walkthrough checklist form is a document that will help you protect your security deposit, among other benefits. This form states the condition in which you received the apartment unit so that it can be easily compared to the apartment’s condition when you move out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Chances are, the landlord will want to pin anything that is broken on you to keep your deposit. A rental walkthrough will prevent this by eliminating any surprises. Ensure that a complete inventory of the apartment is also included in the lease, especially if you are renting a furnished apartment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Once you get an apartment, you will need to sign the lease. Read it as if your house depended on it. It does. If you have questions, ask them before signing it. A lease is a binding legal contract, which means it outlines a series of both parties’ rights and obligations.<\/p>\n\n\n
