Your lease is a contract. Read every page and ask about anything unclear.
Look for
- Rent, due date, late fees and how to pay
- Lease length and how to renew or end it
- Who pays which utilities
- Rules on guests, pets, subletting and changes to the apartment
- How repairs are requested
- Fees for breaking the lease early
