Change is part of life and so is moving. If you are moving from where your currently staying to Fort Collins CO, consider some of the following important factors when looking for a rental house.
Size
You need to determine the size of the building your rental apartment is in. In addition, consider the space of every room that is the kitchen, dining room, bedroom and bathrooms. The size is directly proportional to cost. Go for the house that you can afford depending on whether you have a family or are single.
Price
How much are you willing to spend in paying for rent? Looking at your local listing will help you select a rental house that you can afford. You should also consider the cost of the utilities including gas to get to work or school. The standard rule is that you shouldn’t have to spend more than 30% of your monthly income.
Location
Where you move to matters a lot especially when it comes to security, proximity to your work place or school. Before signing that lease, visit the place during the day and night to see how the place looks like.
Utilities and pets
Find out if you will be responsible for utilities and ask how much the utilities will cost per month. You should find out whether your landlord allows tenants to keep pets and whether there is an extra charge for that.
Parking
You should also enquire whether the premises has parking space for you, or you have to park outside. If you park outside enquire whether parking permits are required.
Period of the lease
Depending on how long you’re planning to stay in the rental apartment you should sign a lease with length of time in mind. Before signing the lease ensure, you read and understand. If you are unable to understand, ask the property-owner what the phrases mean.
Timing
In some towns, you may be able to find an apartment at any time of the year. Timing is everything when it comes to moving.
