I just got an apartment!

[thehstrybean]

$310/month and it's right across the street from campus! Any suggestions of fun things to do? Any advise? It's my first apartment...

 

[akshatp]

What do I need (to know)?

Pay the rent on time

 

[intogamer]

Party?

 

[clamum]

Don't get drunk and punch holes in the ceiling tiles in the stairway, as much fun as it is.

 

[Injury]

Don't forget you're not the only one in the building. Get to know your neighbors so it's harder for them to do rude things like play loud music at night and break/steal your crap.

Make sure to read the lease in full 2 times through so you know what the rules are beforehand.

Make your apartment your home... decorate it... give it a personal touch.

 

[dsity]

you need to know that $310 is hella cheap.

 

[MrChad]

When you move in, walk through each of the rooms and check thoroughly for any damage. Document everything you find and take pictures. Be sure to report anything major.

When you move out, your documentation may help you keep some of your security deposit.

porn subscriptions.

advice, not advise.

 

[sciencewhiz]

ask for advice and read the lease before you sign it.

 

[Deeko]

wow thats cheap

Even if you keep the apartment in great shape, you still won't get your deposit back. They'll find some bs reason not to refund it.

That depends on how much of a dick the landlord is. I've always gotten my deposit back before.

 

[Modular]

Congrats.

Many have fapped in the same spot that you will.

 

[Regs]

Whoa. That's just an extra car payment.

 

[tfinch2]

Invite wimminz over.

 

[elektrolokomotive]

don't paint the walls unless you're willing to paint it back before you leave, or you don't care about your security deposit.

Are you making an implication on his sexual preference? I do believe this is grounds for a warning/temp ban.

I think the point he is making is that if you suggest somebody is gay, the mods get offended. But if you suggest someone is straight nothing happens. He is noting that the mods are actually being biased in a sense.

But nobody really cares.

Start pimpin and make sure stoves/candles are off/out before leaving.

I wouldn't call it a studio, but it's a one bedroom. I'll take pics...

 

[thehstrybean]

Yeah, $310 is insanely cheap. I'll take pics when I move in. I wouldn't call it a studio, but it's a one bedroom with the kitchen blended in. I plan on adding some personal touches....
