Apartment Inspection

Before you sign an apartment rental agreement, you first need to inspect three main areas of the apartment. First, you need to turn on the kitchen appliances such as the stove, oven and microwave, to see if they are in good working order. Next, check the bathroom. Take a look at the toilet to see if it is firmly secured to the floor and if there are any leaks. Also look in the bath or shower and make sure it is free of mould. In the living areas, inspect the floors. If there are bare floors, check to see they are clean and undamaged; if the floor is carpeted make sure it is clean - especially if you or your roommates suffer from allergies. Inspecting these few things before you rent an apartment will save you the headache of having to move again.
