Renting Checklist
People who have experience renting properties will agree that a rental checklist is an excellent tool to help you to select a property that meets all your needs. A rental checklist is a list of features and amenities of properties that will assist you to narrow down your property search. At Professionals, we can help you create your own personalised rental checklist that considers your requirements.
Here is a suggested list of items that could go on a rental checklist.
- Size of the property – is it big enough for you, are there enough bedrooms for all occupants?
- Is the rent too high for your budget?
- Location – is the house in a location of your choice, or in a feasible location that gives you easy access to workplaces, transport and schools and shops?
- Are the floor coverings in good condition?
- Is there sufficient parking space for your vehicle?
- How safe is the house? Are the locks working properly?
- Does the property have lawns and gardens – are you gardeners, do you own a lawn mower?
- Is the property fully fenced?
- Is the house in good condition? Does it require any repairs?
- Is the plumbing functional –see if the taps are working properly, flush the toilet.
- Are there any signs of pests or rodents?
You can use this checklist or create one yourself based on your specific needs. Either way, you can rely on the helpful team at Professionals Real Estate to help you find the right rental property. Contact us today.
