6 tips for dealing with your landlord and that rental apartment life

If you are renting an apartment, there are some basics that you need to understand. First, read your lease and ask questions about anything that is confusing to you. Be sure to take photographs of the apartment before you move in and when you move out, to insure that you receive your security deposit back. Purchase renter’s insurance to protect yourself in the event of a break-in or other unforeseen circumstances. The good news is that this type of insurance is typically very affordable. This varies from city to city but familiarize yourself with tenants’ rights in your area. And finally, if something breaks, do not attempt to fix it. Call your landlord as it is their property and their responsibility.

Key Takeaways:

  • If you are renting an apartment, make sure you read and understand all of your lease.
  • If something breaks in your apartment, call your landlord and do not attempt to fix it yourself.
  • Be sure to purchase renter’s insurance, which is quite affordable, to protect your belongings in the event of theft.
