Memphis Apartment Inspection Checklist
Nov 26th, 2007 by Memphis Apartments
If you have found a Memphis apartment you like and are eager to move into the lovely apartment. Hold on! Before you sign the lease with the Memphis apartment landlord, some inspection is necessary and it might save you a lot of trouble. If you have already signed the lease, it will still be helpful to carefully inspect the Memphis apartment if you haven’t done it yet. In case you find any problem, you should let the Memphis apartment landlord know and get the problems fixed or noted so that you are not held responsible when you decide to move.
Below is a checklist to hel you during your Memphis apartment inspection.
1. Check the entrance: Does the door seal properly? Does the lock work?
2. Check the floors: Any stain or stuff on hardwood floor? Are the carpets clean?
3. Check the ceilings and walls: Any dents, cracks or holes? Is the wallpaper in good condition? Paint on the wall in good shape?
4. Check electricity and lights: All lights working? Electrical outlets functioning? Air conditioner working well? Ceiling fan working well? Phone jack in each room? Is there a cable TV connection?
5. Check the kitchen: faucets leaking? Water pressure good? All appliances working and clean? Refrigerator looking good and not making too much noise? Dishwasher working fine? Gas/electric stove working fine? Microwave functioning?
6. Check the bathroom: Faucets leaking? Hot water from the shower? Toilet working fine? Water pressure good?
7. Check safety: Windows in good condition and safe? Intercom working? Locks on all doors working? Smoke and carbon monoxide detectors functioning? Lead hazards?
If you have found problems with the Memphis apartment, write them down and show it to the landlord (keep a copy for yourself). Make sure the problems get fixed before you move in or make note of them so that you are not held responsible for correcting the issues.
