Renting an apartment is like buying a new house - very expensive, very challenging, and will require careful decision making.  When you are about to come up with a decision, make sure that you consider the amenities and services that the apartment owner will provide.  Some of these must-have amenities and services are the following:

•    Appliance.  If you are going to rent an apartment that is fully or semi furnished, it is a must that you look into the appliances that are part of the rental fee.  You could manually check on these like the refrigerator, the dishwasher, the oven and others.
•    Extra storage facility.  Some apartments are providing extra storage areas for your other stuff.  There are those which do not have this.  When it is necessary, you must require this to the landlord.
•    Security.  There are apartments or house for rent that offer security measures like a posted security guard or a 24 hour round the clock CCTV camera.  You can have all these checked before you finally get into the agreement.  Security should always be a top priority.

These are some of the amenities or services that you need to look into in choosing the right apartment for yourself.
