Items to Check Before You Move Into New Apartment

Few days ago I moved to one of the Orlando Apartments for some business purposes. I found some important and basic apartment checklist that should be done before you move into new one. I want to share them for those who need help .All of these things should be taken care of by the landlord, with no cost to you.

• Door Locks and Latches need to work smoothly with and without the key. If they don’t, request that they be lubed or replaced.
• Check every ceiling for water spots, particularly in bathrooms. Water spots mean that something is leaking, and anything leaking is a bad thing.
• Closet door and patio door sliders need to work smoothly and glide easily. Make sure to check the patio door locking mechanism. This needs to work flawlessly and hold securely.
• All windows and screens should slide with little effort, and all screens should be in place and not have any holes.
• Check faucets for dripping, but more importantly, check beneath the sink for drain pipe leakage.
• No matter what time of year it is, turn on the heat, and you will hear creaking coming from the baseboard heaters as the metal expands. Check in all rooms to make sure the heaters are warming up. Do the same with the air conditioning.
• Check the walls for marks and holes. Be diligent about this, and write down any blemish that you see. Most apartments will charge the renter to repair or paint over holes or marks in the walls when they leave, so you want to be thorough and point out anything that you see.
• Check every outlet to make sure it works, by plugging a small electrical appliance like a hairdryer or a fan into each one. Make sure you know where the breaker box is, and check to see if they are all turned on.

Taking time to do these basic checks can save you a lot of time, hassle, and money, later, if you do it before.
