Clarify responsibility for mowing, pruning, sweeping, and bin management. Agree on weed control and handling of fallen leaves after storms. If a gardener is included, confirm frequency and scope. Outdoor upkeep keeps pests down and protects your deposit.
Usually, but not always. Some ‘master’ rooms share a bathroom. Confirm if it’s attached, exclusive, and ventilated, and check water pressure, heater type, and any morning queue issues.
Ground floor units offer easy access without lift dependency, convenient for moving furniture or groceries, and potential for small gardens or patios. However, they may have less privacy, more noise from foot traffic, and security concerns. High floor units provide better views, more privacy, less noise, and better ventilation, but depend on lift access and may be less convenient for daily errands.
Request written consent before drilling or painting. Confirm patching and color reinstatement at move out. Keep invoices for any professional work. Small changes can improve livability, but agreeing responsibilities now prevents friction when returning the unit later.
Ask about work schedules, sleep schedules, social habits, cleanliness, and how issues are handled. If one of you is very neat and the other more casual, it could cause friction. Observe fridge organization, sink state, and bathroom tidiness during viewing. Look for someone whose daily routine and approach to shared living align well with yours. Trust your instincts – feeling comfortable with their personality is a good sign.
Ventilation is key. Always use the range hood when cooking and open windows if you can. In a studio, smells travel fast, so clean up right after cooking. You can also light a scented candle or simmer lemon water to help clear the air.
Check all door and window seals, clear gutters and drains, and ensure proper drainage around the house. Test sump pumps if present and know where water shut-offs are located. Prepare sandbags or flood barriers if the area is prone to flooding. Trim overhanging branches that could fall during storms and secure outdoor furniture.
Master rooms command premium rent due to size and ensuite access. Research comparable listings to understand market rates. Consider negotiating longer lease terms for rent stability, or ask about inclusive utility caps to manage higher consumption costs. Some landlords offer furnished master rooms - evaluate if the premium is worth the convenience.
