If you have been thinking about finding an apartment off-campus, you likely already know basic tips that can help you avoid common pitfalls when renting an apartment. You know that you need to budget and find out which utilities are included in the rent. You also know that you have to read a lease carefully, even if it seems boring. Here are some not so common tips that can help you find the best apartment.
Living in University Of Tennessee student housing off-campus means that you will have neighbors all around you. You may have neighbors to your right and to your left. You may also have neighbors below and above you. This means that there is the potential for a lot of noise. While modern apartment buildings have soundproof walls, older buildings might be noisy. Look at the walls in a potential apartment and make sure they are not too thin.
Some individuals have felt disappointed when they parked in the parking lot to attend an open house for the University Of Tennessee student housing apartments and then later realized that renters do not have access to the parking lot. Be sure that you clarify who is able to use the parking lot. Find out if there are parking fees or other things about parking policies that you should know before signing a lease.
Make sure there is enough storage space. This is especially important if you will be sharing the apartment with several roommates.
