A practical rental viewing checklist

Bring a consistent checklist to every rental viewing. Record questions, check everyday essentials and download or print your notes before deciding.

Check an item after you have verified it, rather than assuming it is included. Ask before testing fixtures or taking photos, and avoid recording other people’s personal information. This checklist helps compare homes; it is not a professional inspection.
