Questions to Ask Before Renting an Apartment

Rent is rarely the whole cost. Ask early what the service charge covers, how often it is reviewed, and whether it is collected in advance.

Clarify the power arrangement: shared generator hours, prepaid metering, and who pays for diesel. This single answer often explains a large gap between two apparently similar flats.

Agree in writing who handles repairs and within what timeframe, and confirm the notice period for renewal or exit.
