    Don't ever ask if rent is late. That just paints a bad picture in their head
  • DEFINITELY don’t ask “what if the rent is late?” Landlords prioritize choosing to rent to someone who gives them confidence they’ll pay the rent each month. Before you sign the lease, it’ll specify something like how much they charge each day the rent late. Check that before you sign the lease, if you want to know.

    Here are the questions: 1. How do I pay rent? 2. What if rent is late? 3. What utility costs are there? 4. How would I lose my security deposit? 5. Can I go month to month? 6. What happens to tenants who break the lease? 7. What's the parking situation? 8. What's the pet policy? 9. Do you require renters insurance? 10. How can I contact the property manager and maintenance? 11. Are there any specific restrictions?
  • A small addendum to the renter's insurance: it also helps cover any costs if an employee of the apartment building or property management, like a maintenance person, is injured in your apartment.
  • Straight to the point...sadly underrated but keep the great work and thanks for all those information

    Not allowing visitors after a certain time of day sounds weird to me, but I don't have much experience with apartments, lol. You'd think like, allowing people to have visitors is like, life? But eh, I dunno. The only time I've ever heard of people limiting times someone can visit is when I was staying in one hotel in London for a vacation, and visited a friend in another hotel around the corner. Apparently his hotel didn't allow anyone to stay beyond 11pm.

    I'm rental shopping again, now that we are gearing up to move finally, and I'm going to be bringing along an adultier adult with me, haha. My Papa, MIL, or more experienced sister. I tend to get too nervous or brain blocked when face to face with someone like a manager/landlord and turn myself into a floor mat.

  • @robbykidman
    thank u. answered all my questions especially on security deposit.
  • @fluff6721
    Helpful, but music in video is too loud and distracting so it was difficult to listen
  • @kairon156
    Would asking about breaking the lease almost be a red flag from the landlords point of view? While a lot of these questions seem reasonable I wouldn't want to sound like a high maintenance tenant. Because I find people who are high maintenance hard to deal with.
  • @chimedemon
    Some of these seem like terrible things to ask ngl •-• “Just curious, what happens if I can’t pay rent on time uwu just curious I’m definitely not a bad tenant”
