Apartment Checklist

You are all ready to find that perfect apartment, but there are so many features and amenities that you are interested in looking for that you do not even know where to begin. Utilizing an Apartment Checklist is a great place to start. An Apartment Checklist will help keep you organized throughout your apartment search, remind you of all the important things that you want to ask each property manager, and help you keep track of what is desirable at each location you visit. The Microsoft Word Apartment Checklist template is free and very easy to use.

• Print out as many copies as you need. Use one checklist for each apartment you visit and take lots of notes.
• Attach the business card of the professional who helped you if they provide you with one. This will be helpful when you are ready to sign a lease.
• Review each apartment carefully. Keep in mind what was most important to you in beginning of your search, but also remember to be realistic about what is out there. Remember that this will be your future home!
