You can experience many benefits by choosing Auburn University’s off-campus housing. Living in off-campus housing means you will have more space, privacy, and freedom than if you were to live in a dorm.

You must do your due diligence before choosing Auburn University’s off-campus housing. This involves closely examining the lease before you sign it. Here are a couple of things you should look for.

Clarify everything regarding the rent, cost of utilities, and anything else you will be responsible for. Make sure the landlord states the current price of the apartment to ensure you don’t overpay.

Ask what deposits and fees there are and what you need to do to get your money back. Apartments do not offer to return fees. For example, you may have to pay a monthly or annual fee if you have a pet. You may be required to provide a deposit covering any damage to the apartment. However, if no damage occurs, you may get that money back.

Ask about the application process and screening criteria. Instead of guessing, ask the landlord to lay out the process step-by-step. This will help you set your expectations. Also, you should know if you are required to cover an application fee.

Ask how you can pay your rent. It is convenient if they allow you to pay online or if they have an automated option.
