I've heard more horror stories regarding the people running the apartment complex... Make sure that you can talk to a current/former resident, or at least check out online ratings for the place.

Submitted By: J-mo ( 48 days, 5 hours, 3 minutes ago )
I myself have been looking for an apartment..the main thing to watch out for is how many utilities are really included and even some that are you may have to pay a deposit and these can get quite nasty (gas) another big thing is the location and neighbors...depending on what you're looking for

Clean and cost effective for use.
Submitted By: I wish I knew ( 49 days, 9 hours, 37 minutes ago )
That's all I care about, that it's clean and well priced for how I use it. The surrounding town and neiborhood are included in considering how I use it though.

My current situation
Submitted By: azGFX ( 48 days, 7 hours, 17 minutes ago )
I rented an apartment about 20 minutes from work and my parents. It is only 390$/ mo all utilities. Its decent. My landlords are excellent. They fix things promptly and timely. When I am late on rent (only a day) they tell me to not include the late fee. (but this is a result of the pay periods at work).
What to look for:
1. Location
2. Heat and other utilities
3. The landlord(s) (some can be out right jerks)
4. Internet and cable tv service.
5. Size of the apartment for the cost.
6. Cleanliness of the apartment.
These are things that I would look for.

I didn't realize how bad the parking was at my comlex was until I had moved in already. Next time I will make sure there is plenty of unreserved parking near my unit.
