  1. What You Need to Know When You’re a Student Tenant

  2. Searching for the perfect off-campus student housing is exciting. For many students, it’s the first time living away from home. Now is your chance to pick a comfortable living space to share with friends.

  3. However, if you pick the wrong apartment, you may be unhappy for the next year. When assessing Hamilton apartments for rent, there are a few things you need to know.

  4. Living with Many People Gets Uncomfortable Fast Living with numerous friends sounds like great fun, but it can grow old quickly if you lack sufficient space. It’s true that you’ll save money if you fit as many people into the apartment as possible, especially if some of you share rooms.

  5. However, this also means that common areas will become more crowded and you may need to create complicated schedules for when each person can use the bathroom or kitchen.

  6. You Should Talk to Current Tenants It’s a good idea to find out why current tenants are leaving — after all, it could be because of a problem with the apartment. If you get the chance, also ask tenants about any problems they’ve experienced, such as cold, damp, or noise.

  7. Staying Within Your Budget Is Essential Figure out what you can afford and never consider anything above this amount. When calculating your budget, take into account that you’ll need to pay utilities, Internet, food, and other essentials.

  8. Make sure that any housing you look at is also within your roommates’ budgets — this will avoid problems later on. If a friend wants something much cheaper or more expensive, you’ll be better off living with someone else.

  9. Location Matters Only search within a certain radius. If you live too far from school, you’ll struggle to make it to classes on time and become exhausted by your daily journey. Ideally, you want to be able to walk or bike to campus.

  10. However, if you find an apartment that is well connected with public transport or you own a car, a slightly farther distance may be feasible. Whatever you do, don’t plan for someone else to drive you to school every day.

  11. You can rest assured that you’ve chosen the right living space when you pick off-campus student housing designed for students. With West Village Suites, you’ll receive your own furnished suite, all the amenities you need onsite, and on-call maintenance.

  12. You’ll never have to worry about the upkeep of your apartment, which leaves you free to focus on your studies.
