Red Flags for Renters to Watch Out For

16. Renters should test all provided appliances to make sure they work.

Is the electricity running in the apartment? Test out the provided appliances while you are touring the unit. For example, if there is a refrigerator in the kitchen, plug it in and confirm that all the lights are on and the motor is running just fine. If you have anything on you, such as a phone charger, test out a few electrical outlets throughout the property to ensure they are getting all the juice to reach them that is needed.
