Hit or Miss with a Partner - Choose Apartment Together, Not Apart

As much as you might think you know your partner well, it can be detrimental to your mental well-being and your relationship if you should choose the wrong apartment.  Oftentimes couples believe they are doing something so nice, so fantastic, so wonderful...for each other that their nice deed ends up being their worst nightmare.  One thing you must do if you plan on renting an apartment is talk things over with your partner before you do anything.  You can lose much money signing a lease, making a deposit, taking hold of the keys, and more if your partner takes one look and says, "No."


I have experienced this repeatedly with men who I thought would consider my thoughts before committing to a lease.  However, they got sucked into the leasing consultants charm and the special deals that they went on and signed.  You can't do much when you don't make enough money to get your own place and what's worse is when you have to move back in with parents because of someone deciding your future dwelling for you without your consent.

So before you rush off and do something you just might regret later, get your partner on board no matter how picky, strange, or indecisive, he or she will thank you later!
