what to look for in an apartment check

the first time (and some I learned on my own):
- Check for water pressure and electricity while the landlord is in the room with you. See if water in the sink drains quickly. Check for loose wires, loose electrical outlets or fixtures. If there are problems, ask why, and if it will be fixed.
- Check for holes in the walls, floors, ceiling. Especially feel for soft spots covered up by the carpet or wallpaper.
- Check that doors lock well, windows seal completely.
- Check for water stains, fire damage, rotten wood. These could be symptoms of a bigger problem.
- Make a list of all the problems you see, and the landlord’s promises regarding them. Have him sign the paper.
- Be very clear about who will pay for needed repairs.
- You are either a “gut feel” person or you’re not. If you are, then watch for that gut reaction when you check the place out. I firmly believe that you can train your “gut,” or yourself to work with your “gut” to a point that you can trust it. Sometimes you get a strong feel for an apartment being either “right” or “wrong” for you. This, taken with all the other more pragmatic pointers in this article should point you right.

also remember that most apartment owners these days require a credit score check ( too many bad tenants)

woodmere creek apartments birmingham Alabama

Woodmere Creek Apartments are located at 779 Woodmere Creek Drive, Birmingham Alabama, and one thing they try to convince you of is that they are in the best location in Birmingham. That of course depends on what you are moving to the city for, and in my case it was to work at the University of Alabama at Birmingham. I am not a student so I wasn’t comfortable with taking one of those usual apartments/dormitories that are targeted at students, although I was operating on a low budget so this info can also be used by students starting out at the University or an employee transferring for a job in the area. Rent for a studio type unit with one bathroom at the Woodmere Creek Apartments start at $620. Other units which are bigger and have more bedrooms and bathrooms go up to almost a grand, but being single I found the studio-type to be plenty comfortable for me. This is certainly not the cheapest you can get in Birmingham, but for the area around the city center and the University, this is about as cheap as apartments get and still be livable.
Next to cost of rent, the commute was the next most important consideration to me, and thankfully it is just a 15 minute drive down I-65 to get to the University. Other things I enjoyed or found very useful at the Woodmere Creek Apartments are the pool and the gym, and maintenance of the facilities was quite good in general. I recommend it!
