M:Well, the last party I took part in was boring.

First of all, decide on the type of apartment you want to rent. How big a place do you need? How much money are you willing to spend? Is public transportation available nearby? Think carefully about what kind of place is right for you. Next, many apartments are advertised in the local newspaper. Looking over these ads will give you a general idea of the types of apartments available. Then, figure out the exact costs for renting an apartment and determine your budget. In addition to your first month?s rent, you might have to pay a security deposit to cover any damage to the apartment. Finally, be sure to carefully read and understand the terms of the rental agreement,
