Effective Tips to Consider When Renting an
Apartment

• All around the globe residentially moving around
  is quite a task that can get on the nerves if not
  managed properly. Not only does it result in
  weeks of effort in apartment hunting it also
  leads to great work involved in packing, moving
  and then again unpacking. With hundreds of things
  going on the mind and almost fifty percent of the
  work not getting done the way it should, one must
  atleast get the fact straight that only the
  perfect and most suitable apartment should be
  chosen for rent. It becomes a place where atleast
  one year has to be spent may it be alone or with
  family and this responsibility becomes quite
  frightening if the wrong apartment has been
  rented on. Builders in Kochi have been developing
  apartments with the following considerations in
  view to make them state of the art and
  comfortable residential spots, however, tenants
  should beware and check on personal level before
  closing the deal

• Keep the eyes, nose and ears open
• When visiting an apartment to choose for rental,
  check each and every possible nook and corner of
  the house for possible damages and need of
  repairs. Builders in Kochi are bound to hire
  agents for rentals and in case of a sub-standard
  apartment, the blame game between builders and
  agents begins if the tenant moves in without
  having all fixtures done. The kitchen cabinets,
  cupboards, bathrooms and balconies should be
  checked for any foul odour which may indicate
  infection, insects, seepage or broken parts that
  need repair. Point out if anything needs repair
  and get it done before moving in.
• Carry along a camera, it is a must
• Previously heard and seen by people living in the
  west it has now become quite important for
  tenants in India as well to keep cameras along
  when visiting apartments for rental or closing
  deals of rent. It is important as sometimes there
  are certain fixtures needed in an apartment or
  colouring needed which the tenant does not get
  done and while leaving the apartment the landlord
  cuts off money from advance payment for the
  repairs blaming the tenant for bringing the
  apartment in the condition. It is wise to take
  down pictures with the date option on so that
  evidence of the apartments condition while moving
  in is secured.

• Check all water related issues before closing the
  deal
• Water is that necessity which should not be taken
  lightly at all as living without proper supply of
  water is almost next to impossible. Almost all
  builders in kochi keep this element in focus when
  constructing buildings, but even with that a lot
  of complaints and water issues go around when
  feedback is taken. Tenants must make sure that
  water heater is not leaking it operates
  effectively and does have any repair needed. One
  must open all faucets of the house to check how
  long it takes for the water to come in taps and
  whether the water supply is connected to multiple
  homes. Having multiple homes connected simply
  means there might be water shortage or water
  timings if it is not for 24 hours, so take
  information accordingly.
• Safety measures and construction done with its
  accordance
• Only the latest developments and buildings done
  by builders in kochi have installed fire
  extinguishers and other safety precautions in the
  building. For old buildings where these
  facilities are unavailable, one must see if
  ventilation system is enough for ensuring that
  fire does not spread out too fast. Also safety
  exits from the building and secure areas around
  should be present at times of emergencies. These
  little points may see too far-fetched to look in
  to but as it is said caution is better than
  regret.
