Learn the renters rights in your area, like commit it to memory, there are plenty of people who will take advantage of your inexperience or just think you won't make a fuss if they do something illegal that harms you or refuse to give you your deposit/ect. When you get your lease, actually sit down and read it, save it to a google drive, be able to pull it up whenever. I can't tell you the multitude of times its saved me, plus, if someone tells you you can't have your deposit back for x,y,z, ask them for an itemized list of damages, in the us they must provide it, and every one that seems flimsy or is wrong, send them back that you "dispute this charge" and proof if you have it, take pics or HD video when you move in of everything
