What’s even better about gift experiences is that there are so many different options available. Whether you’re buying for a friend…

Like, the photos look amazing, the rent seems doable, and the floor plan doesn’t scream “closet with a sink.” Oh yeah, it feels like a win, right? Okay, well, not so fast. Now, you really need to keep in mind that a lease isn’t just about signing on the dotted line and picking up the keys. Actually, it’s about making sure the place actually works with the way you live.
