If you don’t check over a property thoroughly before you sign, Their can sometimes be some unexpected surprises, like the 3 pieces suite or the washing machine that actually does not come with the flat.
Unlike when we buy something from a shop, we have the sale of goods act to protect us, however that is not the case with renting property.
No doubt some of you have heard the latin phrase Caveat emptor which basically means let the buyer (or renter in your case) beware. If you don’t spot a problem before you buy something, your stuck with it.
There is naturally legislation that relates to the condition of a property, such as unfit for human habitation.
When your viewing a property ask questions of what is supplied and what is not, if the agent is unsure, ask to see a copy of the inventory before you sign any agreement or actually start the referencing process.
Never feel embarrassed or intimidated about asking questions of the agent or having a really good look around the property. At the end of the day you are going to be renting the property as a home, and most probably paying good money. Most agents would be more than happy to get the answers to the questions, before your move in, than have a tenant move into a property and then start raising issues about the property.
Here at igloolets we do our best to give you all the answers you need,
it’s important to us to get it right the first time. Its important to us that
we have happy and satisfied tenants.
