Re: ...People Living In Apartments...
That's good to know. What are some of the other things that naive people like me would be missing out on? Get carpet cleaned, get the place repainted, what else?
In South, heat/AC is central and in all apartments. So if the AC is free, then the heat is free as well.
AC/ heat same thing. You have to ask, some actually mention it.
Carpet cleaning, painting is done after you renew your lease, which is about 6-12 months, but you have to clean the place really well when you leave. They have something called security deposit to ensure that when you leave the place is same as they gave you.
Moreover, try to find out about the place. Go to their website or third party to see the reviews. Single and bachelors all have to worry about rent and how far it is from work. Most of the time they can care less what others are doing in the next apartment, but with family you have to find out. How secure is the place? Entry and exit. Some have timing for locks.
