Damn Sage, you hit every nail on the head!
I have a few of my own, but the important ones have alread been said.
Inspect inspect inspect! Sage said it, but I'll say it again because it's farkin' important. Make DAMN sure that the apartment getting shown is the apartment you'll be getting. The old bait and switch is very much still alive, and it got my SO an apartment that reeked of cat piss.
Never let the sales guy/manager fast talk you. Take your time, be observant.
For the love of GOD, make sure your apartment has AC.
And last but not least, parking. The complex I'm living in now has a craptacular parking policy ($20 for a permit but there aren't enough spots to go around for everyone with a permit by a long shot) and I didn't bother to ask about it until after I moved in and had to park my car 2 blocks away. >:\
