Thinking about getting an
apartment? We’re going to provide
five questions you should ask
before renting an apartment in
Auburn, Alabama.

Q1. Do They Have Full-Time
Maintenance Staff?
Ask your rental company if they
employ maintenance staff or if
each apartment complex has its
own staff on standby.

It’s about more than just
convenience: it’s a safety thing as
well.

While you’re at it, ask how long it
takes for an average maintenance
repair request to go through.

Q2. Does the Property Management
Company Actually Own the
Property?
Typically, the rental agencies that
own their own properties are more
dedicated to upkeep, maintenance,
and high-quality standards.

When you work with a property
management company that actually
owns its properties, you’ll typically
experience a better level of
service.

Q3. What’s the Parking Situation?
Ask all of these following questions
to figure out exactly how parking
works:

"Are the parking spaces covered?"
"Are they directly in front of your
unit?"
"Are there visitor parking spaces
for when you have friends over?"

Q4. Can I Modify or Decorate the
Apartment in Any Way?
Typically, most leases stipulate
that the apartment needs to be
restored to the same condition it
was in when you moved in.

Leases may also say that you need
written permission before painting
or decorating.
libertyproperties.info
That written permission might
cover something as simple as
putting up a poster. Make sure you
understand this policy before you
move in.

Q5. What’s Your Damage Deposit
and Damage Policy?
Ask your rental agency about their
damage deposit return policy.
libertyproperties.info
Will the entire security deposit be
taken away if there are any signs
of damage?
Does one little hole in the wall give
the company grounds to remove
your entire deposit?
