That beautiful apartment you saw online might come with expenses nobody mentioned. 😳

Before you pay your rent, check these 7 things:

1️⃣ Ask for the COMPLETE cost. 💰

Don't ask only, “How much is the rent?”

Ask about agency, legal, caution fee, service charge, agreement fee, security fee, and any other charges.

2️⃣ Test the water. 🚿

Don't assume there's a reliable water supply because you see a tap. Turn it on and ask how often water is available.

3️⃣ Check the electricity situation. 💡

Ask about power supply, meter type, estimated bills, and whether tenants share electricity costs.

4️⃣ Visit the area at different times. 🌙

An area that looks peaceful at 2 PM may feel completely different at night.

5️⃣ Check your phone network and internet. 📱

Poor network can become a serious problem when you work or study from home.

6️⃣ Ask existing tenants questions. 👀

They may tell you things the agent won't.

7️⃣ READ THE AGREEMENT before signing. 📄

Understand the rent period, renewal terms, repairs, responsibilities, and conditions for leaving.

🔥 And here's the biggest mistake:

Don't rush because the agent says, “Another person is ready to pay.”

Take your time. Inspect. Ask questions. Verify everything.
