Things to Ask in Inquire About Apartment

After dozens of calls I have made to different places while looking for any of the San Diego apartment. I worked out some questions that determine whether or not to take the time to look at the apartment.
  • Availably – It is better to call a business that owns apartments or an apartment complex office and ask if they have anything available. If the reply is no you can politely end the phone call else then you can move on to the other questions.
  • Vacancy Rate – If the apartment doesn’t have any vacancy when you called them, you can ask them if they will have something available in the near future.
  • Size – Usually one of the first questions that you have to ask about the apartment size, number of bedrooms, bathrooms, size of kitchen, parking slots, etc.
  • Price – After inquire about the size ask about price. When the price is out of your price range or you don't meet the income requirements there is no point in setting up an appointment to see the apartment.
  • Requirements – Many landlords and real estate companies have certain requirements that some one must meet.
  • Fees –The fee for the applications will be minimal to the chunk of change that you will have to put down if you are approved for the apartment.
  • Deposit and First and Last Month's Rent – Inquire if they want first and last month's rent and what is the cost of the deposit.
  • Pets – Some apartments have restrictions on the size of pet that you can have and others say no pets, not even a fish tank.
  • Lease – If you have to stay for a limited time, you will have to inquire about leasing options.
  • Yard Area – Find if apartment have a play area for children, if this is something that you want to have at your apartment complex.
  • Amenities and Complex Features – If there are any features that you want to have in your apartment, ask about them as well.
  • Utilities – Sometimes all utilities are included in your rent. Depending on your monthly budget you will have to ask about utilities.
