1. ???? Financial Protection — Lock in the Full Cost
- Fixed Monthly Rate: Demand one clear monthly amount that includes base rent + all service charges (security, lift, water, etc.). No vague extras. No hidden fees.
- Deposit Clause: Confirm in writing that your security deposit will be applied to the final month’s rent. This is your built-in exit strategy.
2. ???? Livability Check — Test What You’ll Experience Daily
- Water Pressure: Visit between 7–9 AM and test all taps. Weak pressure during peak hours = daily inconvenience.
- Generator Coverage: Request a written list of what the generator powers. It must include the fridge and lift.
- Structural Health: Inspect walls and ceilings. No mold, dampness, or stains—these signal deeper issues.
3. ???? Legal Security — Get Everything Documented
- Lease Agreement Must Include:
- Lease duration
- Notice period
- Maintenance responsibilities
- Tenant Registration: Submit your NID or copyright for the Tenant Information Form. This ensures your tenancy is legal and protected.
4. ✅ Final Approval — All or Nothing
Only proceed if every item is confirmed—on paper or in person. If anything is missing, vague, or “promised later,” walk away. Better options are always available.
