Apartments

=Apartment Information= You are to find an apartment to fit a family with one child. That means the apartment must have at least 2 bedrooms. You can look online or in the paper. You may need to contact landlords when looking into certain apartments. Here are some questions when contacting landlords:

Are the utilities ready to use or do I have to call for a hookup? Is the cable ready for use? Am I able to have satellite? Is it internet ready? Is it phone ready? Is the apartment furnished (some appliances will usually be included with the apartment)? Make sure you ask about security deposit and up front rent required Find out how the lease works - how long are you required to sign the original lease for and how often it renews. Sometimes it’s year to year - sometimes month to month - sometimes it’s month to month after you live there a year. Find out information about the apartment and the neighborhood

REQUIREMENT FOR THIS PAGE - using the information found, explain what your apartment is like, what you will have to do to make it liveable, where it is located, and what type of neighborhood it is in. Include the ad.

EXTRA ITEMS YOU MIGHT INCLUDE:

Map of Location of your apartment Picture of apartment - Floor Plan

HINT: When calling, don’t give your name or phone number or that this call is made for a school project. Tell landlords that you will contact them if you are interested. Sometimes if you tell them the call is a role-play, they won’t help you out.
