What should I know about being a new renter?

Even if you are receiving assistance with your rent, as a new renter, there are several important things you should know. First and foremost, make sure to read your rental agreement thoroughly and understand the terms before signing anything. This will help ensure that you’re aware of all the rules and regulations that come with renting an apartment or house.

Second, it’s important to budget for any additional costs associated with being a tenant such as utility bills or renters insurance premiums. Make sure to factor these into your monthly expenses so you can be prepared financially when they arise throughout the year. Additionally, if something goes wrong in your unit like broken appliances or plumbing issues, contact your landlord right away so they can take care of it quickly!

Finally, get familiar with local laws regarding tenants' rights in case any disputes arise between yourself and other tenants/landlords during tenancy period; this way you have legal recourse if needed down the line which could save time & money in long run! It's also helpful for landlords too because having informed renters who know their rights helps keep everyone on same page about expectations from each party involved- making whole process smoother & easier overall!
