turning into such a grown-up

[hermionesviolin]

I feel weird doing personal phone calls on business time, so I e-mailed about the studio, but the one bedroom only had a phone number so during a lull this afternoon I called and now I'm gonna go see the apt. tomorrow after work. So now I just have to figure out how exactly to get there. It occurs to me I should ask about utilities. Am trying to think of what else to ask about/keep an eye out for. Thoughts?

Definitely ask the landlord about utilities and also ask them what the average cost of bills are per month. Check out the plumbing to make sure there are no visible signs of leakage or water damage (i.e. discoloration, cracking paint and corners that look crumbled). Check all the light switches, locks, windows, etc.

I could go on and on. I'm on my third apartment now, and all the little overlooked things tend to bite you in the ass later. Better to be overly cautious, I think.

Good luck! And congrats on joining the world of renters! :)
