Finding the ideal RIT student apartments is hectic. You want to find comfortable and secure accommodation that is within your budget. And, you must compete with the rest of the students for housing. There is no reason to panic and join the frenzy. Take your time to thoroughly view the flats and get the value for your rent.
Here are a few questions to ask when viewing student apartments.
1. Is the Apartment Furnished?
Most show apartments feature everything a student needs. It is geared towards giving you an idea of what the room can look like. As such, it is essential to ask what comes with the flat. You don’t want to move in only to realize the microwave and mattress are gone.
2. Do You Pay a Deposit?
Homeowners ask for a deposit to secure against arrears and damages to the property. Sometimes, the deposit is high and can become unaffordable. Also, please inquire about the rules and terms governing the deposit.
3. How is Security?
Security is crucial to peace of mind and comfort. Ask about the security measures in the building and incidents in the surrounding area. Do they have 24/7 surveillance and secure entry?
4. What are the Free Amenities?
You should always ask what your rent includes. Some student apartment owners include amenities such as water, gas, electricity, and Wi-Fi, while others keep them separate. Knowing what is free will help you calculate your accommodation costs.
