FAQs
Q: Is there any specific advice you can give to a first-time renter?
A. Start by setting a realistic budget that includes utilities, insurance, and deposits. Make a list of must-haves vs. nice-to-haves, check your credit, and visit multiple units. Ask about maintenance, utilities, and lease rules. Read the lease carefully, document the unit’s condition before moving in, and get renter’s insurance. Keep good records of payments and communications, and build a positive relationship with your landlord.
