"Haunted" Apartments For Rent - A Tongue In Cheek Checklist For New Tenants

By: Ben Shaw

Finding apartments for rent can give you absolute frustration. If you're like me, you probably know nothing about what had happened in the apartment before you move your body and your stuff in. If you're not careful, you may even get an unwanted surprise in your rented apartment.

"Gee, here's a nice wardrobe." And, the moment you open it - "Oops! There's a skeleton in there!"

Now, this will tell you that it can be a terrible experience when looking for an apartment for rent.

For starters, try the classifieds. Even though the listing is limited, it doesn't really matter. Just call the owners or realtors up. And when you do meet up with a ghostly apparition - run for your dear life!

Sure, that was an straight forward option. To keep blood suckers, ghosts,and other unidentified floating objects, do not forget to bring a few crosses, tons of garlic and of course, holy water.

If you search the internet, you should be able to find apartments with affordable rental at numerous locations. Try apartments.com, rent.com and rentnet.com. For some of these locations, they even have photos to show!

While looking at apartments for rent, be sure to see what amenities are offered with each apartment. Some communities and buildings offer pools, rooftop decks and exercise equipment. Be sure to consider the security personnel, if any. If they grow fangs, spray holy water on them and shout "Holy cow!"

Remember to check into who will be responsible for the utility bills and if there are parking spots included with the monthly rent too. Now, if you notice any flickering light or some crazy bloke who talks to himself in the area, it's a sure sign that your apartment for rent is going to drive you nuts! So, forget it!

Always check whether there would be any extra cost because what may appear to be an affordable apartment may turn into a cash sucking vampire in no time. Be warned!

Finally, if you search hard enough, you will locate a rental apartment that will fit your needs exactly. And, of course, if it gives you absolute frustration, it maybe a good idea to forget about shifting out and simply stay home.
