  1. How to Find Great Student Housing

  2. Going off to college is the first time most students search for housing. It can be an overwhelming experience, especially if you’re unsure about what you’re looking for. It’s critical to choose well to ensure that you’ll be comfortable and happy.

  3. The good news is that when you know how to approach the task, you can be certain that you’ll find great St Catharines student housing.

  4. Ask What the Rent Includes You need to be clear if utilities are included in the cost of the rent or if you’ll need to pay for them separately. If you will be paying for utilities, ask the landlord about typical costs. This will give you a better idea of how much you can expect to spend each month.

  5. Check the Condition of the Apartment Never feel afraid to poke around when viewing an apartment. Turn on the faucets and flush the toilets to ensure that they’re working well, feel the windows to check for drafts, and confirm that locks are secure.

  6. Also examine the cleanliness of the place, including flooring, tiles, and kitchen cabinets. Lastly, make sure that all appliances and electrical outlets are in good working order.

  7. Research the Location Proximity to campus is your primary concern, but there are other things to consider when choosing a location.

  8. Find out if the neighbourhood has a reputation for being safe and if it has all the conveniences you need nearby, such as laundry facilities and a grocery store. Also look at rent rates for other properties in the area to figure out if the landlord is offering you a reasonable price.

  9. Pay Attention to Warning Signs Never sign a lease if you feel pressured or if anything feels wrong. Always see the place before agreeing to rent it — just viewing pictures online is never sufficient. Read the lease carefully.

  10. If there are any terms you’d like changed, discuss this with the landlord. Finally, if you don’t understand something, ask for help. Your school likely has resources for this.

  11. Even when you know what you’re looking for, there are many complications when searching for rooms for rent St Catharines students are at an advantage, as they can stay at Regent Student Living.
