Every tenant wants to choose the best home for rent where he can live comfortably. However, with a wide range of housing options available, it can be quite difficult to make the right decision, particularly if you do not have any prior experience. There are some factors that you need to keep in mind before finalizing a home for rent. Some of these are:

• Do comprehensive research: You must thoroughly check the area where you are planning to rent a home. Walk around the locality and see the conveniences available nearby. Important amenities like school, hospital, playground, grocery store etc. should be in close proximity. Also check if the house has an easy access to major transportation facilities. You must be equipped with all the details pertaining to the current real estate trends in your area.
• View properties carefully: While viewing the rental properties, make sure you do not just skim through the surface. It is important to take a good note of the properties that you are interested in. Make a checklist of the amenities that you want in your rental home. These may include a garage, patio, balcony, courtyard, electrical appliances etc.
• Inquire about the deposit: You need to confirm the terms and conditions for any deposit required to rent the home. Ask the landlord about the exact amount of the deposit and its refund policies to avoid any hassle later on. The rental agreement should also have a clear mention of the deposit and its related conditions.
• Negotiate well: Before finalizing the deal, make sure you negotiate the rent amount with the landlord. If you have hired a real estate agent, he will be responsible for conversing with the landlord so that you do not sign an overpriced deal.
• Go through the complete inventory: Before you move into your rental home, make it a point to go through the complete inventory. Check everything including furniture, furnishings, appliances and plumbing fixtures. If anything is not functioning properly, bring it to the notice of the landlord and request him to get it repaired before you move-in.
