1. Effective Tips to Consider When Renting an Apartment
All around the globe residentially moving around is quite a task that can get on the
nerves if not managed properly. Not only does it result in weeks of effort in
apartment hunting it also leads to great work involved in packing, moving and then
again unpacking. With hundreds of things going on the mind and almost fifty
percent of the work not getting done the way it should, one must atleast get the
fact straight that only the perfect and most suitable apartment should be chosen for
rent. It becomes a place where atleast one year has to be spent may it be alone or
with family and this responsibility becomes quite frightening if the wrong apartment
has been rented on. Builders in Kochi have been developing apartments with the
following considerations in view to make them state of the art and comfortable
residential spots, however, tenants should beware and check on personal level
before closing the deal

2. Keep the eyes, nose and ears open
When visiting an apartment to choose for rental, check each and every possible nook
and corner of the house for possible damages and need of repairs. Builders in Kochi
are bound to hire agents for rentals and in case of a sub-standard apartment, the
blame game between builders and agents begins if the tenant moves in without
having all fixtures done. The kitchen cabinets, cupboards, bathrooms and balconies
should be checked for any foul odour which may indicate infection, insects, seepage
or broken parts that need repair. Point out if anything needs repair and get it done
before moving in.
Carry along a camera, it is a must
Previously heard and seen by people living in the west it has now become quite
important for tenants in India as well to keep cameras along when visiting
apartments for rental or closing deals of rent. It is important as sometimes there are
certain fixtures needed in an apartment or colouring needed which the tenant does
not get done and while leaving the apartment the landlord cuts off money from
advance payment for the repairs blaming the tenant for bringing the apartment in
the condition. It is wise to take down pictures with the date option on so that
evidence of the apartments condition while moving in is secured.

3. Check all water related issues before closing the deal
Water is that necessity which should not be taken lightly at all as living without proper
supply of water is almost next to impossible. Almost all builders in kochi keep this
element in focus when constructing buildings, but even with that a lot of complaints and
water issues go around when feedback is taken. Tenants must make sure that water
heater is not leaking; it operates effectively and does have any repair needed. One must
open all faucets of the house to check how long it takes for the water to come in taps
and whether the water supply is connected to multiple homes. Having multiple homes
connected simply means there might be water shortage or water timings if it is not for
24 hours, so take information accordingly.
Safety measures and construction done with its accordance
Only the latest developments and buildings done by builders in kochi have installed fire
extinguishers and other safety precautions in the building. For old buildings where these
facilities are unavailable, one must see if ventilation system is enough for ensuring that
fire does not spread out too fast. Also safety exits from the building and secure areas
around should be present at times of emergencies. These little points may see too far-
fetched to look in to but as it is said caution is better than regret.
