There are several questions that you will need to ask prior to signing the lease for UNC-Chapel Hill apartments. It can seem a little bit overwhelming to gather all the information you will need before you make the move. However, the more informed you are before you make the move, the easier the move will be for you.

One important issue to consider is utilities. Depending on how much you pay for rent, your utilities could be the second-largest expense associated with renting your own place. Utilities are going to vary from location to location, so it’s a good idea to find out how many people who live in the same building or in the same neighborhood as the UNC-Chapel Hill apartments you are considering are currently paying for utilities.

It would be good to talk to your future landlord and ask them how much people are paying for utilities in the area. You may want to do an informal census of people who live in the area and ask them how much they pay. Remember, utility costs can fluctuate depending on the time of the year. You may need to pay more for utilities, like gas or heat during the winter, and more for other utilities, like electricity used to power air conditioning unit, during the summer. If you have clear in mind how much your utilities are going to be, you will be able to accurately budget your monthly expenses.
