Living here: what to check before you buy or rent

Visit the unit in person and check its condition, layout, natural light and any signs of water leaks or wear. Check parking arrangements and the rules for visitors, renovations and pets. If you are buying, ask a lawyer to check the title and confirm there are no restrictions or outstanding charges on the unit. If you are renting, read the tenancy agreement carefully. Check the deposit terms, who pays for repairs and what furnishings are included. It also helps to visit at different times of day to get a feel for traffic and noise in the area.
