When you are on the search for a new apartment to call your own, you will want to make sure that you find a rental that is legitimate and will provide you with the space and amenities that you would like. You also will need to see the details to help you make a decision and to ensure that you do not end up in an apartment that is a scam for you. 

As you take a look at the listing, front and center should be how big the area is that will be your own, the number of bedrooms and bathrooms, the floor plan, and any storage space. This is going to give you a good way to visualize the layout, especially if they are willing to include some pictures to go along with it. There are bonus points to the landlord or property manager if they will show a 3D tour or something similar so you can get a feel for the apartment before you decide to move right in. 

You should avoid a few things when looking into a new apartment. Vague terms like open one bedroom or junior one bedroom. These are hard to quantify and you may have no idea what you are getting out of them when you take a look. Most renters want to get a preferred number of bedrooms when they move into an apartment and sometimes a landlord will try to get creative with some of their descriptions in the hopes of attracting some good tenants to move into them. 

If you are moving to a new city or even a new part of town, you want to look at some of the listings that will have important facts about the neighborhood attached to them. This can include information like what stores are nearby, whether there are some major freeways or transit options close to it, and even what entertainment is available for you to use. Of course, you don’t want to just take the word of the listing for it. You will need to go to the apartment and take a tour to see what it is like.
