Successful Tenant Checklist

A checklist of what to review when considering a rental unit. Use this list to help set you up for success as a renter.

Read your rental agreement carefully, including any “house rules” incorporated into the rental agreement, before you sign or give any deposit.

Make sure it includes any conditions promised to you verbally such as new paint or carpets or appliances. You are bound to any agreement you sign -- there is no 3 day cancellation period
