Make a list of houses you are interested in. Then we recommend you look at as many of these houses as your patience can bear. The search will give you a good basis for comparison. DO call to make appointments to examine houses. DON'T just show up at houses.
Many landlords live outside the area, and many managers are students with erratic schedules.
Therefore, no one may be around to show the house if you show up unexpectedly. For security reasons, we recommend tenants currently occupying a house do not allow prospective tenants to look at the house 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.
