AND THE UNIT Check out your prospective landlord or company with the Better Business Bureau of Raleigh to make sure that they have a good reputation. In addition, talk with tenants residing in the unit you is interested in or other tenants in the building. The search will give you a good basis for comparison. DO call to make appointments to examine units. DON'T just show up at units.
Many landlords live outside the area, and many managers are students with erratic schedules.
Therefore, no one may be around to show the unit if you show up unexpectedly. For security reasons, we recommend tenants currently occupying a unit do not allow prospective tenants to look at the unit unless the owner or manager is present. DO call the landlord or manager if you are going to be late or miss an appointment. DON'T be late for an appointment. DON'T show up unexpectedly after you have missed an appointment.
