Before the showing

Confirm rent, deposit, lease term, maintenance fees, pets, parking, and who handles repairs. Ask to review the written lease.

Test the shower, faucets, hot water, and drains. Ask about a tinaco, cistern, pump, outages, and internet providers that serve this exact unit.

Check locks, lighting, stairs, noise, drainage, and where your car actually parks. Visit again at the times you would come home.

Document existing damage, photograph meters, verify who you are paying, and keep signed terms and receipts. Test the commute before committing.

The calculator connects housing, living costs, and commuting. The book works through the complete decision.
