INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Rather than covering the costs of background and credit checks for potential tenants, most landlords will request a payment from you to offset these costs. In many cases, application fees are between ten and fifty dollars. If your future landlord requests an application fee higher than that, you should ask them to explain the cost and what it is used for before agreeing to pay it. Before moving in, you will likely need to pay a fee that will be refunded if you complete all the necessary cleaning and maintenance prior to moving out. In some cases, this deposit is a few hundred dollars, but other landlords may require as much or more than an additional month’s rent. Many rental units will also require a larger deposit for those tenants who have pets. Be aware that, as a first-time renter, you may have to pay an extra (or double) deposit or find a co-signer. Rental units are rarely all inclusive when it comes to heat, water, electricity, gas, sewage, trash removal, and other utilities. It’s important to get an exact list of any utilities covered by your complex. For instance, apartments may claim they are all inclusive, but they only cover the basic utilities like water and electricity, not things like internet and television services. If you’ve never had an account with the utility company, they may require you to pay a deposit. This will help you better understand the total amount of money you’ll need each month. Most apartment complexes have this information on hand for potential tenants. If they don’t provide this data, you can speak to utility providers directly. If your utilities are included in your lease, make sure there aren’t limitations set by your landlord or overage fees. For instance, some rentals cover the cost of electricity but require an additional fee during summer months when the air conditioning unit is used. Ask about things like snow removal and lawn maintenance before you sign a lease. These seasonal costs can add up if you’re not expecting them in your budget. If you’re renting a townhouse, duplex, or single-family home, you may be responsible for your own seasonal outdoor maintenance. Apartment complexes typically include this cost in your rent, but don’t assume this is the case. Always ask. If you have a washer and dryer in your unit, you’ll need to pay for the water bill and clothes detergent. If an apartment complex has a communal laundry facility, you’ll likely need to pay to use these machines in addition to paying for your own detergents and other cleaning products. If there are no on-site laundry facilities, you’ll have to take your laundry to an off-site location where you’ll need to pay to use public machines. Each of these options is increasingly costly and time-consuming. Many leases require this coverage. Renter’s insurance typically costs between $20 and $50 a month, and can often be combined with other insurance policies for discounted coverage. This is one of the ways that many landlords offset the potential damage caused by pets. Our furry friends can be smelly and destructive, and the rental agreement may reflect your landlord’s concerns about renting to a pet owner. In most cases, after an initial deposit, pet rent is typically no more than $10 to $50 per pet each month. Cost varies dramatically based on the size and breed of your pet.  For instance, aggressive dog breeds often require your landlord to purchase additional insurance, and you are likely to be expected to cover that cost through higher than usual pet rent.  Often, you will have to pay a non-refundable pet fee upfront rather than a monthly “pet rent.”

SUMMARY: Be aware of application fees. Factor in the security deposit. Take utilities into account. Request average utility costs. Learn about seasonal expenses. Estimate the cost of laundry. Include the cost of renter's insurance. Ask about pet rent and deposits.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Mites are only a small fraction of an inch long (1/32 inch). On your mouse’s fur, an adult mite will look like a small black dot. A mite egg will look like a round speck. Given the tiny size of mites, you may not be able to tell the difference between an adult mite and a mite egg.  Mites have 8 legs.  If you have a black mouse, the mites may look like white specks of dust on his fur. A magnifying glass will help you spot mites in your mouse’s fur. With the magnifying glass, look for tiny specks in the fur. Since mites can cause intense itching around the shoulders, neck, and face, start your search in those areas. If you do not have a magnifying glass, you can find one at your local pharmacy. Rather than using a magnifying glass, you could use tape to spot mites on your mouse. Take a small piece of tape (an inch or two in length), place it on an affected area of fur, then remove the tape and see what stuck to it. The mites would look like black specks on the tape.  Be gentle when taking the tape off. You do not want to hurt your mouse. Keep in mind that not all mice show signs of mites. The mites on your mouse may not cause him to itch very much, so you may not see a section of affected fur. If you have spotted mites on your mouse (or if he’s extremely itchy), take him to your vet. Your vet will take a close look at your mouse’s skin and fur. They will take a sample from your mouse’s fur and look at it under the microscope to confirm your mouse has mites.
Summary: Learn what a mite looks like. Scan your mouse’s fur with a magnifying glass. Place clear tape on your mouse’s fur. Take your mouse to your vet.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: You can make it from scratch using your favorite recipe, or you can make it using a boxed mix. Don't over-mix the batter; you want there to be some lumps. If you do this, the waffle will turn out chewy.  Add some oil or melted butter into your recipe to reduce sticking.  For extra flavor, add some cinnamon, vanilla, or almond extract. If you want some heat in your breakfast, try a dash of chili powder. Set the waffle maker onto a flat, heat-safe surface and plug it in. If your waffle maker has different heat settings (ie: light, medium, dark), select the one that appeals to you. Some models will have an indicator light that switches on. Pay attention to this light; it will turn off or change color when the iron is ready to use.

SUMMARY:
Prepare your desired waffle batter. Preheat the waffle maker.
