What you should do before you move off campus
Begin looking for your apartment approximately a semester before you want to move off campus. Usually January-March is a good time to search for housing for the fall semester. Know your budget, know how to read a lease, know how to inspect a unit, and know your rights and responsibilities as a tenant. Look at many housing units. Talk with the landlord, ask questions, and make good inspections of the units as you walk through them. Be informed!! Compare types of accomodations and their costs.
