Viewing rentals
Take your time throughout each rental property screening to ensure that there are no issues. If any of the following issues exist, either make it a condition of the contract that they be fixed, or seriously reconsider your wish to rent that home.
— Check the exterior: are the gutters or any pipes leaking? Are the walls or window frames cracked? Is there a garden or outdoor area you'll need to maintain?
— Test the fittings: make sure the taps work, for both hot and cold water. Test the water pressure and see if all the property's light switches work.
— Check for mould and pests: are there any signs of pests, including mouse droppings, cracks or holes in the walls?
— Inspect the appliances: confirm which white goods come with the property, including fridge, washing machine and dishwasher.
— Look for smoke alarms and CO2 detectors: are smoke alarms fitted?.
— Think about safety and security: do windows and doors open easily and close securely?
