Apartment Hunting? Don’t Overlook These Important Details!
Touring an apartment is exciting, but it’s easy to miss important details when you’re caught up in the aesthetics. Here’s what to pay attention to before signing a lease at an RPM Living apartment.
Check the Condition of the Apartment
Look for any damages, test appliances, and check water pressure. It’s best to address any concerns before move-in.
Assess Storage Space
Does the closet fit your wardrobe? Is there enough cabinet space? Make sure the apartment meets your storage needs.
Ask About Utilities & Fees
Some apartments include utilities, while others don’t. Clarify what’s covered and what additional costs to expect.
Test Out the Amenities
If the property has a gym, pool, or co-working space, take a tour! RPM Living communities offer top-tier amenities to enhance your lifestyle.
Pay Attention to Noise Levels
Visit at different times of the day to get a feel for noise levels, whether from neighbors, traffic, or nearby businesses.
Understand the Lease Terms
Read through the lease carefully. Ask about policies on maintenance, subletting, and renewal options.
Walk Around the Neighborhood
Check out the nearby restaurants, grocery stores, and public transportation options to ensure the location fits your lifestyle.
Taking the time to evaluate these details will help you choose an apartment that truly feels like home. When you tour an RPM Living community, our team is happy to answer any questions and help you find the perfect fit!
