ask the last time windows were replaced, and or if they will be replaced. (I live in a wind tunnel)
pests, such as mice, and or ants are just gross, look over the place well for dead bugs
they are going to ask for references, do the same, ask for the past tenants contact numbers, ask them how the landlord is with repairs ( The day after I moved in the toilet broke, they ran over fast as hell to fix it)
Water bill is re-billed to us every three months maybe ask about that
watch the ages of ur neighbors, ask if they complained about the last tenant
old ppl complain alot, young ppl make the old ppl complain.
parking.
check for overhead lighting, and outlets ( our place has no fixtures,)
check the doors, cause some tough guy blew a hole in one of ours with a fist before we moved in and I didn’t see it on the walk through, landlord says it wasn’t there…
Take pictures of the entire thing like its a crime scene before you move anything in, make sure the pictures display the date, (news on tv, or news paper) take pictures of everything, any little stain, any little mark, or nail in the wall, (I had a stain on one apt. carpets, it was HUGE, the landlord knew of it, said it had been cleaned and wouldn’t come out, well on move out he said i did it, i said wtf? he said well bring the photos from your move in date, and ill show you it wasn’t there… lol, needless to say i lost that security deposit.
oh and good luck, hope your ready for sacrifice,
live in tail is nice but living alone is soooooo NICE
