cell phone reception

Cell phones are essential these days more than ever. Almost all people rely on these devices for a number of different reasons, from work, to communicating with family and friends, to keeping track of their daily tasks. However, if you find it difficult to use your phone due to poor signal, that’s a big deal. When touring the potential apartment, tenants should try to use their phone in all areas of the place to see if the reception is up to par and consistent.

Another thing that is equally important for everyone is Wi-Fi, there are landlords that include utilities such as water and heat in the rent, while others give rental incentives such as Wi-Fi and cable, so it is important to ask about the Wifi.

Water temperature and water pressure.

These are things that often go unnoticed but that tenants must deal with every day. Nothing could be worse than having extreme water pressure, which can be too strong or too soft, and unstable water temperature. They certainly won’t be able to take a shower as they go through the apartment, but they can turn on the faucet to test the temperature and pressure on their hands to see if they’re okay. In case there are any issues in this regard, they can check with the landlord or company to see if they can be fixed before moving out.

no pests around

Even if they are only renting an apartment, they consider it their home. However, insects and rodents, among other pests, also find their way in, making it a major problem for many people. It is very unhygienic and gross to have pets in an apartment. They have to take a look at the top and inside of their cabinets to see if they have feces. Also, it’s a good idea to check your baseboards and walls for any large holes or cracks as well.

If they are still not satisfied with this, they can ask the landlord for a copy of the latest pest control treatments performed on the apartment/building. It is stated in the lease if the unit/building had any pest problems because landlords disclose such information about their apartment for lease. Tenants must be willing to ask specific questions. Since this will be your home, there should be no pests.

Power outlets and electrical system

Many things in the home require a power outlet to work, including phones, chargers, and appliances, among others. When touring an apartment, try plugging a device into as many outlets as possible to make sure they work. If you can’t think of anything to bring, you can always stop by a nearby hardware store to pick up an electrical receptacle wall plug AC outlet ground tester. Its price ranges between $5 and $10. You can test the state of the circuit for each outlet in the apartment. Additionally, you can check all the lights in the apartment to make sure they can be turned on and off as needed. When they move without checking the outlets, they’ll be sorry when something doesn’t work when they need it most.
