1. Detail by detail: The number of rooms and bathrooms, square footage, storage space, and a floor plan should be the first things you should look at to get a sense of the layout. Avoid postings that include terms like "junior one room" or "open one room" that are ambiguous. According to Zillow, 88% of customers look at online ads based on the number of bedrooms and bathrooms they need. The owners are aware of this, so they come up with creative descriptions to attract more people.
How the property is safe is another important detail. According to a survey conducted by Zillow, 67% of leaseholders said that a safe neighborhood is a critical requirement, and 46% said the same about a safe building, as are essential requirements.
Although the majority of landlords will assert that the area is protected, you should conduct your own research, particularly if you are new to the area.
Talking about being new, if you're moving to a different part of town or a new city, look for postings that include important information about the area, like how close it is to major highways or travel, convenient malls, and places to have fun and relax.

2. Amenities - Each and every one of them. In addition to essentials like heating and kitchen appliances, each leaseholder has unique amenities that they consider essential requirements.
Leaseholders look for the most common amenities: cooling, in-unit clothing, ample storage, and private outdoor space. Other desirable in-unit amenities include updated kitchens, hardwood floors, numerous windows, and recent renovations.
The posting should include shared luxuries like stopping, housetop decks, wellness areas, open spaces, swimming pools, and bicycle stockpiling.

3. Major (and possibly risky) limitations The posting ought to reveal any limits that may pose a significant problem for you. Standards for pets (counting specific breeds), the maximum number of people who can live in the unit, smoking, drinking, arguing, and rent terms and length are examples of precedents.
Also, see if you can tell if the landlord lives nearby or if a local property management company looks after things. If the owner is nearby, they will likely respond quickly to repairs and general building maintenance and support requests.

4. Expenses that are clearly shown Make sure the landlord is very clear about the dollars and cents:
What exactly is the monthly lease payment?
How much of a deposit is needed, and can any of it be refundable?
Are there any recurring fees?
Is there a one-time fee or a monthly fee for pets? is it refundable?
Is there a parking fee?
What utilities are included?
Because these additional costs can quickly turn a posting from affordable to not affordable, ensure you have all the information you need to crunch the numbers quickly.

5. Excellent photographs. Pay attention to posts with numerous excellent pictures and late photos.
Look for posts that include pictures of the property inside and the outside and images of every shared accommodation. In any case, tenants should exercise caution: You risk falling into a trap-and-switch situation if the owner claims that the pictures are of the same unit, not the one that is available for lease.

You're on the way to a great start when you find a few posts that include these subtle elements. You will have an easier time comparing properties side by side, identifying significant issues, and locating areas where a property owner may be willing to negotiate.
