Renting an apartment in Long Beach is a big responsibility. Not only are you taking on the
new lease
payments and responsibility for yourself, but you are also committing to a specific place to live. If that location does not provide the highest level of safety and comfort, you may be stuck with it for some time. For that reason, as you are seeing the apartment for the first time, notice the presence of any of the following five things.
- Look for cracks in the ceiling, walls or flooring.
- Spot any signs of water problems including damage to ceiling and floor tiles, mildew on walls or broken faucets in the kitchen and bathroom. Look in cabinets.
- Find out if there is a lack of hot water from the taps or if there are signs of rust from the faucets.
- Ensure there is sufficient lighting and electrical outlets.
- Ensure the heating and air conditioning works well.
These five simply things can be easily overlooked. However, they are critical to inspect before you move in.
