When trying to decide which apartment will be best for you, it's important to consider the amount of support each landlord is willing to provide for his or her tenants. In order to determine this, you should find out the way potential apartments handle maintenance as well as security issues.
It's important to find out the way your landlord handles repairs before they become a problem. You might be looking at an apartment with a great Jacuzzi-style tub... but if your landlord's never there to fix a bad draining problem, you might not ever get to enjoy it! You need to find a complex with a good maintenance system.
So, how are you supposed to learn how a certain apartment handles maintenance problems? Ask the landlord or manager handling your apartment inquiries. Find out how repair requests are handled. You can ask questions such as: "Is there a resident superintendent that handles all maintenance problems?", "Are maintenance hours restricted?" or "How long does it typically take for repair requests to be answered?" The answers should give you a little insight into the way that things are handled.
If you don't get much of an answer out of the complex representative, you might consider asking a resident. If the person you approach is irritated by the way the complex handles repair requests, he or she will be more than happy to vent.
It is incredibly important to find out how your complex handles security issues. Find out from an apartment representative whether or not they have any type of security guards on site. Ask if they re-key apartments once the old tenants move out. Maybe you'd feel more comfortable in an apartment close to the police department. A good friend of mine lives about a block away from the Arlington police department, and I feel so much safer when I leave there at night. On weekends, there's usually a cop car that cruises around to make sure everything's fine. It helps you sleep a little easier. Unfortunately, not every complex can all cram around the police department. This is why you must research the area to determine how safe it is.
Remember: just because an apartment looks "clean" doesn't mean that it is. Find out about the neighborhood crime statistics. APB News provides a general idea of neighborhood safety in the U.S. on their web site. You just enter in the zip code you're wondering about and hit return and you'll find out the level of safety on a scale of one to ten.
Once you've discussed both maintenance and security issues with the representatives of potential apartments, you should be able to make a confident

Find the Best Places to Live
Before You Move Finding the best places to live takes a little research. Many companies and organizations have done a lot of the legwork for you, having compiled data and conducted surveys to find where in the world are the best places to live.
World's Best Places to LiveThe London-based Economist Intelligence Unit's (EIU) Liveability Ranking, conducted a worldwide search for the best places to live and visit. Looking at 40 different indicators arranged in five separate categories, including stability, healthcare, culture and environment, education and infrastructure, EIU published some interesting findings. With three cities in the top ten, Canada came out on top due to its low crime, little threat from terrorism and a highly developed infrastructure. The best ranked US cities were Cleveland and Pittsburgh, both ranking 26th in the World.
Vancouver, Canada Melbourne, Australia Vienna, Austria Toronto, Canada Calgary, Canada
Safest Places to LiveWith the recent natural disasters that have devastated so many communities throughout the world, when you are considering your next move, you may be wondering if there is anywhere left that is safe to live.

Leases
What is a lease?
A LEASE IS A CONTRACT (agreement) between a landlord and a tenant for the rental of an apartment or house. A lease can be an oral (spoken) agreement or it can be in writing. Most leases in New Jersey, whether oral or written, are not the result of bargaining between the landlord and the tenant—the landlord knows that there is more demand for rental housing than there are units to rent, so the landlord can set the lease terms. The person who wants to rent the apartment must then accept the lease as offered by the landlord.
Sometimes, landlords will try to include unreasonable or unfair terms in the lease. For example, a lease may require a tenant to get the landlord’s permission to have overnight guests or visitors. This rule is unreasonable. A tenant has the right to have friends or relatives visit for a few days without getting permission from the landlord.
In New Jersey, every lease must be written in “plain language.” This means that the lease must be written in a “simple, clear, understandable, and easily readable way.” Cite: N.J.S.A. 56:12-2.
Before signing a written lease, read it carefully. Do not sign a lease with blank spaces. Make sure that the terms in the items in the lease are the same as those you and the landlord agreed to when you discussed renting the unit. If you do not understand something in the lease, don’t sign it. Tell the landlord you first want to take it to a friend or lawyer who will help you to understand it. If you do sign a lease, be sure you get a copy. This will prevent the landlord from making changes afterward.
If your lease is spoken, make sure you discuss with your landlord all of the responsibilities you have and all of the responsibilities the landlord has. It is important that you understand what you must do before you make a final agreement with the landlord.
