You do not want any surprises when you move into a new apartment. The best way to avoid surprises is to thoroughly check out the unit before you sign on the dotted line. This is especially true if you are considering moving into an older apartment. Some older apartments have issues with the heat during the summer and the cold during the winter.

If you are considering moving to UNC Chapel Hill apartments for rent, talk to the landlord about the HVAC system. Is there central air conditioning in the building? Or will you be required and permitted to install your own AC unit? If you have to install your own air conditioning unit, factor in the price of the air conditioning unit and the monthly increase in your electric bill when determining whether this place works with your budget.

Conversely, before moving into UNC Chapel Hill apartments for rent during the winter, check to make sure that the thermostat and the heating works properly. It is good to know what you should expect from the heating bill during the winter. Some apartments have thermostats that you cannot control. If this is an issue for you, ask about it in advance. It is good to talk to other tenants in the building to see how reliable the heat is. Nothing is worse than being cold in your own home during the winter months.
