Make sure you have renter's insurance. I have a few rentals and I insist they show proof of it at signing and renewals.
When you look at an apartment, go when you would be home to see what the neighborhood and neighbors are like. Take a look at the exteriors. Are the neighbors having keggers on their balcony?
Understand the cancellation clause. Since this is your first place, do you have an attorney-friend to review it?
Pets....that can be a good thing or a bad. Do you want barking dogs living next door?
Access to amenities. If there is a pool, what are the hours and the restrictions. It's great to entertain friends, but there should be a limit on how many you can bring at once.
Security.
In what terms is a deposit forfeited?
On the side, I would look up the county legal records to see what lawsuits have been brought against the owner, or visa versa. Unless you are in a non-disclosure area, you can typically view these online for free
