MENU		RENTING A PROPERTY		OTHER RENTALS
		Once you decide on a price range, size, and preferred location, you should be able to identify several possible properties. Look for convenient parking, nearby bus routes, shopping, schools, and laundry facilities (washing machines) in or near the building. Ask the landlord or the person renting the property what facilities are included in the rent, such as parking, whether or not you can keep a pet and how many people can live in the property. The landlord will hold the property for you after you pay a deposit (which will be applied to the rent) and you both sign an offer to rent the property.   Every property should have: its own door, which can be locked, to a common hallway or to the street; a kitchen with a sink and hot and cold water, countertop, shelves or cupboards and appliances such as a stove and a refrigerator; closets and storage space; a private bathroom with a sink, toilet and bath or shower. Your property will be equipped with several essential utilities, including: a heating system; light and electricity; hot and cold water; telephone lines; and sewage pipes. You should find out if the costs of electricity, gas, heat and water are included in the rent, or whether you will be charged directly by the utility companies. Property taxes are paid by the landlord. You must pay the costs of telephone and cable television connection and the monthly bills for those services. Furnished properties should include beds, chairs, tables, floor covering, light fixtures, curtains, basic kitchen equipment in addition to utilities, a stove and a refrigerator. There is a - standard - rental agreement, or lease, that both you and your landlord sign. This is a printed document of one or two pages which specifies the number of rooms, utilities and options such as parking or storage space. Read it carefully before signing. Be sure you understand which utilities you will pay, which will be paid by the landlord and what penalty you may have to pay if you leave before the lease is over. The lease will most likely be for at least one year, and you will have to make an initial payment, possibly the first and last month's rent. You may also be asked for a damage deposit, which will be returned to you when you leave if you have not caused any damage to the property beyond normal use. For this reason it is important to note any damage and tell your landlord before you move in.
