Do not intentionally damage the property

Keep all records of discussions, agreements and costs associated with your lease.

Do not sublease the premises without the landlords or property managers consent

Look out for the care of neighbours goods and property. Apart from being a good Samaritan, your neighbours are a good chance to become good friends of yours, and you never know when you will need a hand.

Respect the peace and quiet desires of your neighbours, especially when having parties. Unit complexes invite a tight knit community, so remember also that people work different hours and noise travels.

Be aware of the 'repairs policy, ask the property manager what this should be. Make sure you report needed repairs and follow the process required, without spending money or authorising repairs or alterations without approval.
