Make sure it is your state standard tennant lease as he mentions above. Pay great attention to any addendums to the lease. If you are paying a security deposit, make sure it is spelled out what it can be used for. I suggest taking a video camera scan of the whole apartment before you move in. Get the all the carpets, kitchen area, bathrooms and ceiling. Make spoken notes on any damage, no matter how small.
You mentioned earlier that there was no smoking or a $500 cleaning fee. That is less than $50 a month to smoke inside; I would do it.
