Finding your first apartment to live in while attending university classes is an exciting experience. While you want to enjoy the experience, you need to pay attention to details related to the apartment. If there is pre-existing damage and you do not mention this to management, you will be held responsible for it when you move out.

Before signing a lease on Purdue off-campus student housing in West Lafayette, IN, do a thorough inspection of the apartment. Look at the doors, walls, and flooring to see if there are stains, dents, or tears. If you notice any damage, mention this to management. They may be able to fix these issues before you move in. If not, the issues will be noted in the lease. This means you will not be held responsible for the damage when you move out. You should get your full deposit back if you do not cause any damage.
