Few days ago I moved into one of the Apartments. I found some important and basic apartment checklist that should be followed before selecting a new apartment. All these things should be taken care by the landlord, with no cost to you.
- Door Locks and handles need to work smoothly with and without the key.
- Check every ceiling for water spots, particularly in bathrooms. Water spots mean that something is leaking, and anything leaking is a bad thing.
- Closet door and patio door sliders need to work smoothly and glide easily. Make sure to check the patio door locking mechanism.
- All windows and screens should slide with little effort, and all screens should be in place and not have any holes.
- Check faucets for dripping, but more importantly, check beneath the sink for drainpipe leakage.
- No matter what time of year it is, turn on the heat, and you will hear squeaking coming from the baseboard heaters as the metal expands. Check in all rooms to make sure the heaters are warming up. Do the same with the air conditioning.
- Check the walls for marks and holes. Be diligent about this, and write down any blemish that you see.
- Check every outlet to make sure it works, by plugging a small electrical appliance like a hairdryer or a fan into each one.
