Red Flags for Renters to Watch Out For

5. Look out for a landlord who doesn’t present a checklist for any damage in the beginning.

It is imperative to complete a checklist to note any current damage to the property when you first do a walk-through with the landlord of any rental before signing a lease and moving in. The reason for this is due to accountability. If you don’t go over a checklist in the beginning, then you could look over many damaged things, both minor and major. Later, the landlord might blame you for the issues, if you bring up a problem after you move in. They will assume you were the cause of it.
