Choosing your next apartment is a big decision, and having the right information can make all the difference. To help you feel confident in your choice, we’ve put together six essential questions to ask any potential landlord before signing a lease.
1. What is your application process like?
Most landlords will ask for proof of income, a credit check, and references from previous landlords. At Midwest Property Management, we make things easy with our online application system—just visit the community page of your choice and click “Apply Now.”
2. What is your pet policy?
Not every apartment is pet friendly, so always ask about restrictions and fees. At Midwest, we welcome up to two cats per suite with a one-time fee per cat. It’s simple and affordable to bring your furry friend with you.
3. What is the parking situation like?
If you own a vehicle, ask about parking availability and fees. Some communities offer underground parking, outdoor stalls, or assigned spaces—and costs may vary. Knowing in advance helps you plan and budget.
4. What are your maintenance procedures?
Before committing, find out how maintenance issues are handled. Midwest Property Management offers 24/7 Emergency Maintenance Services, so you’ll always have support—even after regular office hours.
5. Can you tell me more about the neighborhood?
Whether you're new to the city or just switching areas, it’s smart to ask about nearby amenities like grocery stores, public transit, schools, and safety. Each Midwest community page features a neighborhood map to help you explore what’s close to home.
6. When can I move in?
Found the perfect place? Don’t wait! Submit your application and security deposit as soon as possible. Popular units go quickly. At select communities, we also offer Early Move-in Incentives—so you can settle into your new home even sooner.
