Always confirm the full monthly cost: security deposit, broker fee (if applicable), and utilities (and whether any are included). Those details can meaningfully affect affordability even when the asking rent looks lower.

Ask about lease start dates, screening/requirements (including guarantors), any move-in fees, and building rules. Also confirm how utilities are handled and whether the unit matches what you saw in the listing.
