| Your
First Apartment.........
Finding your first apartment, signing the lease, and getting
moved is very intimidating. Let's take a look at some of
the things you need to do before you start looking for your
first apartment and some tools to make that search more
efficient. Use our Tenant Rights and Areas of San Diego
to get a better handle on your lease and location.
Here are the major steps.
1) Budget (Don't become a prisoner ofyour apartment, find
an apartment in your price range without draining the bank
account.)
2) What Kind of Apartment do you need? Do you work from
home? Do you need a laundry on premisis? How much stuff
do you have? Doyou need parking or public transportation?
Are windows important. What emenities do you want? Should
I rent or buy?
3) Apartment Hunting: SanDigoRenter.com is a listing service
in San Diego that offers location maps, pictures, email,
and the widest variety of aparmtents in San Diego. I will
also recomend a Thomas Guide for a newcomer to San Diego.
The Tomas Guide is a detailed map of San Diego. This guide
can be purchased at most office supply stores.
4)
What the ?*#% is the code that landlords use to list an
apartment in the newspaper. Unlike SanDiegoRenter.com there
is a limit on text so Landlords have created there own code.
To help you de-code this we have provided the following
page. Apartment Ad Abbreviation
Guide.
