Good to see a rental thread. As I always say in these threads, check smoke, CO detectors and emergency exits. Sprinklers are a plus. Are the hallways and stairways safe? Can strangers get inside the building? One rental property that I looked into was always unlocked. Anyone could just walk into the hallways and stairwells.

We photographed the inside of the apartment too. I had to install blinds as it was a brand new apartment. Also brought in furniture and living stuff. Last month new neighbors moved in above us. They damaged the hallways and interiour stairwells moving their furniture in and I reported it to the management company so they wouldn’t blame us down the road.

I call the management company every two months and ask them if there are any issues that they want to talk about. I like to maintain good relationships with vendors as it smooths over any potential problems.
