Topic: How to Choose a Good Apartment

In many poor countries owning a house is not a great deal. Once a person has a piece of land, he can build any kind of house and it will belong to him forever since the government does not ask any tax. Because most of them don't have enough money to build luxurious houses, they will build anything that could just protect them from bad whether. Some usually don't respect the urbanization plan and especially in rural areas. In those countries renting or buying a house or apartment does not cost too much money. For example in Cameroon, a four rooms apartment can be rented from $35 to $40 monthly while in the USA, with $40 they can't even pay the trash bill. In many prosperous countries like in the USA, buying or paying the rent for an apartment is not easy. Due to the fact that the government's economy is based on taxes, a person who doesn't have sufficient money should not be able to afford a good apartment. They are so nice and well equipped; therefore they cost a lot of money. My first experience in Dallas was choosing an apartment. Since I didn't know any criteria of choosing a good apartment, I had much difficulties. In fact, it is easy to choose a good apartment if you follow these steps. First, decide which kind of apartment you want. Do research online or ask somebody. Visit three to five apartments . Go to the leasing office when it is open. Secondly, return home and decide which one is suitable to ask. Select if possible the one which is located in a pleasant area. Make sure that road connects it to another street. Next, take the keys and visit the apartment. Look carefully at every detail such as windows, rooms and kitchen. Verify if the stove uses gas or electricity. Check the doors to see if they are in good condition. Find out if the neighbors are nice people. Then require that walls and ceilings are newly painted. Don't forget to ask if there is a swimming pool. It will be suitable that the security police sometimes be around. Figure out if the environment is too noisy. Control the shower, faucet, and other appliances. Choose as well as possible the first floor or an apartment which has many parking spaces. Finally, write a leasing application, sign a contract, and pay for the first month. Move in after taking all the keys including the one of the mail box. Without knowing various procedures, it will not be easy to choose a good apartment.
