Looking for a new apartment to move into? Sure that you’ve found the perfect one for you? Well, it might make sense to slow down a bit and make sure. There are a few certain signs that the place you’re looking at might not actually be right for you. These include it being in a bad neighborhood or things seeming too good to be true – when all else fails, fall back on instinct and trust your gut!
Key Takeaways:
- Unless it’s a newer building having a lot of vacant apartments to choose from is not a good sign.
- Talk to current renters and others in the community. Ask about the landlord and the area. Talk to the local vendors to gain insight about the progression of the area.
- If there are a lot of repairs to be made, the landlord lives off site or is a little too eager to accept you as a tenant without bothering to do credit or background check proceed with caution.
“Sometimes, we may even try and convince ourselves that a place will work despite knowing that the apartment just won’t be a good fit for us. Often there are apartment red flags that will pop up and we need to pay attention to these signs in order to make the best decision for our living arrangements.”
