By all means SAVE A COPY OF THE FINAL LEASE signed by you and owner or manager. This is most important document when it comes to settling an apartment disagreement. You should also keep a copy of apartment/rental housing rules (sometimes called "community policies") for same purpose.

The Texas Apartment Association suggests you look for following things in your lease:

Check to see how much advance notice you must give before moving at end of your lease term. A 30-day written notice is normal when rent is paid monthly. Look for security deposit refund restrictions. Look for your rental housing owner's obligation to make needed repairs. A requirement for diligence is common. Be sure to read any cleaning instructions. Cleaning costs usually can be deducted from your security deposit if you fail to follow instructions.

Check on prohibitions against subletting or keeping animals. Written permission is usually required. Also, there is usually an extra deposit for animals.

It's amazing how many people will sign documents without actually understanding or even reading them. Maybe contract looked too long, or perhaps language seemed confusing. It's okay. The time you spend completely understanding this contract will only benefit your position as a tenant.
