5. CLOSE THE DEAL

Once you've found the apartment you'd like to rent and had all your questions answered, it's time for the paper work. If you are living with someone, be sure to acknowledge every detail on the paper work before signing on the dotted line. The complex manager will more than likely want their signature as well. After you've talked with the landlord, signed the paper work, made your initial payments or deposits, and received your keys, you're on your way starting a new life in a new place surrounded by new people, so good luck!
