• Renting seems to be simple, but actually, its
  not!
• If you are not smart enough, you may end up
  putting a lot of money than actually required.
  The home might not be as per your comfort and
  requirements.
• When you rent a home or an apartment, it looks
  like a simple procedure. The broker/middleman
  suggests you few properties, you visit them
  after exploring, you choose one. The rest of the
  things are handled by the middleman and you sit
  relaxed.
• But, you need to take extra care of many things
  before you finalize a property. From analyzing
  the home conditions to affordable rent and
  managing documentation, there are a lot of steps.

Consider these steps before finalizing the deal

• Understand Tenant-Landlord Laws Every area has
  some specific laws to be followed. Dont rely on
  the middleman to tell you the laws. They might
  skip something and you will have to suffer!
  Research them yourself and know them before
  signing the documents.
• Inspect the Property The property which you will
  be living in must be comfortable and safe for
  your family. You cant start repairing things as
  soon as you enter the home. Thus, you need to
  inspect every little item in the house before you
  finally sign the papers. Check windows, doors,
  and walls for any holes or cracks, faucets of
  kitchens and bathrooms, light switches, and other
  electric appliances so that they are well
  functioning.

• Meet all the owners of the Rent House No matter
  what information the middleman gives you, you
  need to visit the owners of the house. The
  middleman is just to earn the money and he will
  do everything to please you to accept the deal.
  You meet the owners and get to know things
  better, as sometimes, the property has been
  shared by multiple people. Tell your broker that
  before signing the documents you need to meet the
  previous owners!
• Ask Necessary Permissions Ask for necessary
  permissions before signing the contract. The
  things include keeping a pet, making some
  significant changes in the home, and doing
  something that might alter the original property
  or damage it in some way.

• Document all the things Make all important
  conversations on emails or text messages.
  Whatever you decide, ask the owner to send you a
  text or an email for keeping records. Also,
  prepare all the documents correctly. Keeping
  written records prevents a lot of conflicts in
  the end. 
• Discuss rent Queries Rent is one of the
  essential factors you need to consider before
  renting home. Moreover, every high priced
  property is not worth it. The owner will give
  you all the best reasons for the price, but you
  shouldnt agree with something out of your
  budget.
• Keep a Record of Home Condition  Click pictures
  of the home and record videos before entering
  the home. Make sure you share them with the
  homeowner. Look for smaller details and record
  each and everything that could cost you. You can
  avoid a lot of conflicts if you keep such
  records.
