Re: Apartment Questions

This is my frickin' curse, I hate apartment hunting. I've apartment hunted a lot.

The two things you can do is first, keep your salt shaker handy when reading reviews online. Like anything else, you're going to hear the negativity the loudest. Look for trends over a period of time - if it's just a one off, a couple people with varying issues, then things might be okay. Learn to look for context. If someone complains about bugs outside and the complex is NEXT TO A FIELD then yeah, that's not the most valid complaint. But if you don't like bugs... at least that's info.

If you've got like ten people over three years telling you the landlord is Cthulhu, then yeah, move on.

The second thing is always go take a look at the place yourself. Peek around, get a tour if possible. Some places get flaky about that and want money just to tour, ask your local community (reddit, wherever) if that's even legal.

Always know your renter's rights. They vary by state/country.
