Living here: what to check before you buy or rent

Before you buy or rent a unit at Taman Tasek Rethina, ask the agent, owner or management for the key details. Useful questions include: Is the title freehold or leasehold, and has an individual strata title been issued? What are the monthly maintenance and sinking fund charges, and are there any arrears on the unit? What facilities are available to residents, and what condition are they in? How is parking arranged? Always view the unit in person, ideally at different times of day, to check for noise, ventilation, water pressure and signs of leaks. Look at the common areas, stairways and rubbish collection too, as these show how well the building is managed. Buyers should have a lawyer check the title and any restrictions before signing. Tenants should read the tenancy agreement carefully, confirm the deposit terms and record the condition of the unit with photos on move-in day.
