When you sign a lease on Rutgers University apartments, you are obligated to fulfill your responsibilities outlined in the contract. Here are a few factors to consider before signing on the dotted line.
You must understand the lease terms. Even if you and the prospective landlord discussed the lease weeks ago, carefully read the entirety of the contract. Be sure that you understand the terms you formally agree to.
It is common for a lease to start on the first day of the month. However, you need to check the move-in date. Also, make sure you understand how long the lease will last. With most apartments, the terms are for 12 months. With Rutgers University apartments, the lease will likely be shorter.
Life doesn’t always go as planned, so you may need to move out sooner than you hoped. Ask about policies around breaking the lease early. Find out if you will have to pay the penalty or forfeit your security deposit.
There are likely rules about having guests. Some leases don’t allow guests to stay overnight or for more than a few days. Get familiar with the guest policy to avoid penalties.
The lease should lay out how much you are obligated to pay each month and how you can pay the rent. Ask if a grace period applies to rent payments.
