https://www.har.com is a great resource for apartment hunting if you're moving to the greater Houston, TX area. Additional information for potential renters: -What will it cost to heat/cool the apartment? The landlord will likely either "not know," or quote you very low prices. Look for double pane (good) or single pane (bad) windows in regards to this (especially up north where it gets cold). -What utilities are available? I got shafted the first time I moved to a new apartment and was only allowed 1 lovely local cable company for cable and internet. Thank god Clear moved in. -Talk to current tenants in the complex or see if the landlord can provide you with some of their other tenants information (This may require human to human contact).

Ashcans posted:Here's a question: has anyone ever asked a potential landlord for references? I ask because we have been having issues with our landlord who is a total nutcase. I suspect that if we had ever had the chance to speak to her previous tenants, we would have gotten wind of that and never moved in. It seems like whenever I apply for an apartment I have to give my previous landlords and rental references, but I've never heard of it happening in the other direction. Not unusual at all. I asked for references from all of my potential landlords and they were happy to give them.
