[BlindTlk] Looking for some Advice on Apartment- or Studio-Living

[Carly Mihalakis]

Good morning, Humberto,

Indeed all really exciting strides forward for a 
prospective teacher--congratulations!!

In terms of the literature about the property, 
here, all the usual stuff that is encountered 
where ever you go applies, that is, the 
proprietor reads off FYI bullet points displayed 
on the forms so you know what it is to which 
you're applying your signature, all that can be 
done verbally, no need to bog down things by 
trying to acquire it in accessable format. Where 
ever possible, by simply securing a verbal sketch 
of relevant docs, the better, you just ask the 
proprietor all the usual details regarding the 
administrative minutea of the place: rental 
payyment schedules and the like, walkthrough 
details, rental payment etc. I have been renting 
since before turning 18. Avila via BlindTlk wrote:
