Basic Questions To Ask When Touring Apartments in Jacksonville

Even though you like the looks of an apartment, the rental manager is charming, and you are received almost like royalty, don't let the excitement of the moment overcome your businesslike approach to getting the best fit for your lifestyle.

Common sense inquires will pay good rewards:

Who will be your neighbors? Working adults, single party people, military, college students? And will the overall living environment suite your personality and lifestyle? Asking around the neighborhood may dictate whether you think you will fit in.

Who is the “go-to” individual in charge of the apartment and who are the staff people? When you have a question or a problem, how accessible are they?

What is and isn't included in rent charges, and are there extra charges that may be added on or assessed?

Where is the Jacksonville, FL apartment located in relation to essential facilities you may require: schools, medical facilities, malls, grocery stores, etc.

What are the important details of the lease? Move in and out dates? Exact type of lease---short term? Rent due date? Exactly how much is due? For how long are you tied to the lease? How much will you end up paying?

There is really no such thing as being too informed. You're going to live there.
