What You Should Know Before Renting Sight-Unseen

Understanding what to check, ask, and verify can help ensure a safe and smooth rental process.

1. Request Detailed Photos and Videos

Before committing, ask the landlord or property manager for high-quality photos and videos of every room, the exterior, and common areas. A virtual tour or live video walkthrough helps you verify the property’s condition and layout.

2. Review Lease Terms Carefully

Even if you can’t see the property in person, read the lease thoroughly. Pay attention to:

Rent amount and payment schedule

Security deposit requirements

Lease duration

Pet policies

Maintenance responsibilities

3. Ask About Maintenance and Repairs

Confirm who is responsible for repairs and routine maintenance. Check the condition of appliances, plumbing, and electrical systems through photos or video. Request written confirmation for any repairs completed before move-in.

4. Research the Neighborhood

Use online maps and street view tools to evaluate the neighborhood. Consider proximity to work, public transport, grocery stores, schools, and safety ratings. Contact local residents if possible to get an insider perspective.

5. Verify Landlord or Property Management

Confirm the legitimacy of the landlord or management company. Ask for references, check online reviews, and ensure the property is legally registered for rental in that area.
