Finding that perfect apartment or home for rent can be exciting, especially once your application is approved. However, a lease is a legally binding contract, so you'll want to make sure you understand as much of it as possible before you make that commitment. Eagle Realty & Investment offers beautiful rental homes throughout the Statesboro, GA, area.

These real estate experts recommend asking your potential property management company the following before signing a lease:

• How Long Is The Term? Having a lease that lasts too long or not long enough can be disastrous. A longer term provides security, but it might lock you in for longer than you need, while you might face unexpected rent increases if you sign a short-term lease. In addition to the terms, find out what the penalties are for breaking the lease early, in case that becomes necessary.
• What Utilities Are Included? Some landlords or property management companies include utilities, such as water, sewer, and even gas, into the rent, while others cover none at all. Make sure that when you're comparing the prices of different rental homes you're factoring in all of the expenses of living there, including additional costs like parking or storage fees.
• Is 24/7 Maintenance Available? If you're renting in a complex, there's likely an on-site property management company to take care of any sudden repairs, but the situation might be different if you're renting a home. Find out what kind of maintenance is available if a pipe bursts or the AC goes out in the middle of the night.
