Red Flags for Renters to Watch Out For

20. Notice old pipes in the rental unit.

As discussed above, leaky pipes are a big issue. So be sure to look at the actual pipes in the rental home you are interested in. You should pay attention to the water pressure to see if it’s low or not. Why? Because it can increase the likelihood of leaks and bursts. More importantly, old pipes can cause hard or rusty water that creates stains in tubs, toilets, and sinks. Plus, it can even leave a residue on kitchenware when washed with the water from those old pipes.
