So, you have taken the time to shop around and find the right apartment. You looked at a lot of different options and feel pretty good about the one that you chose. It is in a good location for where you would like to spend your time. The space is good for what you need at the time. And the rent is affordable and will not put you in a financial bind, whether you choose to move in with a roommate or you are going to live on your own. You even found one that has a ton of the great amenities that you are looking for, so you are really excited.

Once you have made that decision, it is time to sit down with the landlord and take a look at the lease that they would like you to sign. This lease is going to be a legal contract that will relate to your relationship with the landlord as the tenant. You need to take the time to read through it all and ask a ton of questions about it before you agree to signing and following the terms that are in there. In addition, since this is a legal document and you are expected to uphold your part of the process, you need to have a copy of the lease in your possession as well.

As a tenant, you have the right to always look over your rights and some of the terms that you and the landlord agreed to in the beginning. If you for some reason don’t have a copy, even if the landlord did give you one when you first moved in and it got stolen or misplaced, then let the landlord know. They will often be happy to send over a new one so that you have the information available if you need it. Some have even moved it to an electronic form, which is going to make it easier to pull up when you need it most.
