1) The neighborhood. Just because rent is cheap doesn't mean you want to live there.
2) RENTER'S INSURANCE.
3) keep your place clean so that when you move out you don't get screwed on extra costs. If you have roommates be sure everyone does their fair share.
4) Be careful about roommates. Personally I think you should have locks on your doors if you're going to share. Not everyone is honest.
5) Read your lease. Keep it where you can find it for reference. Understand your local laws on what your landlord can and cannot do.
6) Also if you have roommates, consider whether or not they're on the lease - some places make it mandatory. And you can't evict a roommate. Once they're on the lease they have the same legal rights as you.
It's actually easier to evict someone when they are on your lease then if they are not on your lease.
If they are on your lease and they violate a term of the lease agreement then you can serve them a legal eviction notice. They can dispute it but it's better than what you would have to do to evict a "squatter" which would be to find a valid reason to get them arrested.
i'm talking about one roommate kicking another out. Cos sometimes it's not over lease violations but over personal differences.
although if you're living with roommates who are trying to kick you out... you might want to reconsider why you're living with them in the first place.
Is it normal I would like to get an apartment.
