L earning a ffective strategies in how to search for an apartment, condominium, or house t o live in could qiake any students l ife a little easier in a high-stress atmosphere. Most students have the challenging aspect of moving when they are accepted to college, while others students do not change t heir living arrangements. Here at CSUSM we have a wide variety of students living on campus, living o ff campus, and commuting f rom large distances away. Whatever a student's living arrangements are within college it is something that changes while students advance into adulthood. DO: Plan ahead, details are important According to apart- mentreviews.net one of the f irst things students can do is get an idea of what t ype of place they are interested in, having a backyard, t ypes of f looring, washer/dryer included, pets or no pets, how many bathrooms, garage space and the list could be endless. Understanding that each detail uncovered could make the search easier or more d ifficult depending on if the requirements are available. Once they have their requirements in mind, searching for numerous places, either online or in the local newspaper is key to f inding the right place. DO: Schedule a walk through Apartmentreviews.net also suggests that once a few places have been selected, students should contact the landlord or leasing agency in order to schedule a walk-through. Finding a place that matches all the desired emminites students before commit-, ting should invest in doing a care- ful walk through to look or r epairs, improvements and questions about the location. C ertain apartment complexes have noise r estrictions, p arking restrictions, and other regulations that students should investigate during the walk through. DON'T: Don't be shy to ask questions Most a partments required at least a six to 12 month lease, so asking questions early before committing will be a b enefit so there are no s urprise f ees or c onfusion on the lease agreement. DON'T: Don't forget to bring important documents Bringing things like a credit check, resume, or pay stubs/ tax r eturns are documents generally asked for. A fter giving documents like t his to a landlord or leasing agents it helps to be prepared. Many landlords/ leasing agents will want to v erify a s tudent's references so calling these references beforehand i nforming them of these incoming calls could b enefit a s tudent's success while searching. A s s tudents, many of us may not have a long enough or good enough credit h istory to b e a sole signer to an a partment, a co-signer may be required, so investigate credit h istory and t alk to p arents or close f riends about having a possible co-signer. DO: Talk to the neighbors Sometimes the realitor or landlord really j ust wants to push the sale, getting an unbias opinion really matters when c ommitting to the possible perfect place and t alking to the neighbors o ffers a second opinion about the neighborhood. Apartmentreview5.net recommends that m eeting the neighbors is an aspect a student must consider, since sharing walls w ith neighbors may a ffect a s tudent's living choices. When talking to neighbors, students can f ind out about how neighbors feel about noise, if they are f riendly, and what they like about the neighborhood.
