Question Apartment growing 101. Need advice!

Hey people. I'm currently looking for an apartment to start a mini grow op(600wattz), and live in. Any advice on choosing the safest apartment would be greatly appreciated. I was thinking of choosing an apartment on a second floor for safety. Well, thanks for the help.

Make or build a carbon filter to filter the smell when you are flowering.

Here's some things you want to look for:

Top floor, corner unit.
Vent to the attic in closet or wherever you want to grow.
Make sure no necessary equipment maintanence people might need to get to is in the closet, i.e. air conditioning units, electrical wiring, etc.
Big closets (obvious reasons).
Make sure there is electrical outlets near the closet, or even better, in the closet, which is rare.
Just be aware that it is almost a certainty that someone you dont want in the unit will have to go in there, whether it be maintanence or exterminators, whatever. I have a six month lease and its happened 3 times to me already.

i grow in my apartment......large walk in closet...which i basically parition 3/4 of the closet off just leaving 2 feet of actual closet, I built a flalse wall out of insulation board stuff at lowes calle R Matt sturdy but light and easy to work with, no tools need jsut a knife to cut the stuff and foil tape to seal it up on the edges, made a door out of the same stuff that is secured with velcro, painted the outside that faces you when you walk in white like my closet, I built that same carbon filter, Im curretly in veg right now so i just leave the lil door off and just keep my closet door open to cool air in there, I got ventilation for my light and 1 hook uped to carbon filter.........best thing you can do is get a walk in closet or the biggest one you can find, my closet is in my bedroom so maintence doesnt go in there or if need be i just close my closet door

thats prolly not a good idea, and this is coming from a guy living in a apt (2nd floor corner unit) who grows 5foot tall giants and who has a bathroom literally FULL of clones and moms (and huge lights). not to mention i grow shrooms too...i use a 1000watt switchable and several fans to vent and cool. during my first grow (last year) i had a fire alarm inspection, i havent had anyone come in since then. if someone were to come in, there would be a reason - and that reason is probably not going to involve my bathroom/closet. just be subtle, if you wanna do a pretty big grow then let your living room, kitchen, and personal room be clear of anything sketchy. thats just my 2 cents, ive lived this apt for years now.

but yea, smell might be an issue - carbon filters are the way to go.
