For most of you, this will be the first time that you will be responsible for a house or apartment.
Landlords vary greatly in their concern for tenants and in the services they render.
You are well advised to talk with previous tenants to be sure you are dealing with a landlord or rental agent who enjoys a good reputation. Many landlords have addendums to their leases that speak to the tenant's responsibility to maintain reasonable noise levels. By signing this addendum, you confirm your receipt and understanding of this policy. No more warnings are required if the landlord finds it necessary to evict a tenant for violating the agreements in the addendum. Special preparations may be necessary for semester break because of the length of time you will be away.
