When 
looking for an apartment, as with any other life event, preparation is imperative. I’m surprised at the number of apartment-hunters I’ve toured who don’t have a list of questions to ask. Who don’t take notes during the tour. I suppose it’s possible they just have much better memories than I do? Most likely that’s not the case, though.
I’m not sure such innocents understand that once they sign the lease for an apartment, they’re committed. There’s no moving in and then deciding that it really isn’t right for you. Didn’t remember the agent telling you that parking cost an extra $50/month? You can’t pack up and move out next month because you don’t want to park on the street – not without a lease termination fee.
For our inaugural blog post it seemed fitting to address the topic of finding an apartment. You’re looking for an apartment. We have apartments. It’s a match made in heaven, right?! I will acknowledge that we’re not a fit for every single person who’s looking for an apartment in the Pittsburgh area. And that’s where the list of questions comes in.
