Moving day!

So, moving day is finally here! I've learned a lot about setting up utilities, apartment setup, and dealing with a roommate in the past week. First of all, the electric that is not included in my rent I had to set up not at the electric company but the courthouse (who knew!) my tip for this is to find out first where to go from your landlord before driving around town like an idiot as I did. lol  Also, when you first move into an apartment know this, yes, they probably had a cleaning crew come in but they don't clean everything, mark down any flaws in the floors, walls, cabinetry, etc.. take pictures before moving in so you can show them to your landlord, and if you would like to install some kind of hardware, ask your landlord first because he may install it for you! Also, if your keys do not have a "do not copy" written on them ask to have the locks changed because anyone could have your keys. (creeeepy!) As for dealing with the roommate, just be honest with him/her about your expectations of them and their contributions you expect them to make, this will make your life and theirs much easier! Well, thats my two cents worth, hope it helps!
