Are you planning to move to a rental apartment?
In case of the rental apartment, you’ll have to sign a lease outlining the terms & conditions of your tenancy.
Dos and Don’ts of the Rental Apartment
If you’ve successfully managed to impress the landlord with good credit and rental record, don’t sign the lease without negotiating.
For instance; you want to negotiate monthly rent, offer to sign a lease longer than 1-year or perhaps give up parking in case you don’t need it, in exchange for lower monthly rent.
At the lease-end, you can move to a month-to-month agreement, and you have a choice to terminate the contract with 30-days’ notice.
