Ask yourself, what to pack and what to grub out?
Before starting packing, be knowledgeable about what you need to take with you and what to leave. Don’t stuff your new living with useless stuff. This is a prime time to make your house free from the unnecessary load.
Let’s move onto what to communicate with your landlord, before moving in.
Installing new locks to keep up with the security
Moving into a new house raises some concerns in terms of security, when you think about someone else having a duplicate key of your new home. You should always be vocal about your concern to the landlord. If they don’t allow you to change the locks, you can either reconsider or negotiate. If the security of the housing society satisfies you, you can decide on the respective property too. Do whatever suits you, calms you!
Ask if the trash management is on?
You would never want to daily gather your house-hold trash and take it to a disposal unit all by yourself. Imagine the hassle! Therefore, it is recommended to ask in anticipation about the union or council active in the society to offer such services. Such a relief it is to have a service that takes away the trash from outside your home. Normally, in Pakistan rent agreements are equipped with the necessary information, but if your landlord misses out on something, you can always raise the points.
Ask if the transport management is on?
In modern societies and gated communities, there is a service of transport provided by the management. You should work on figuring out if the society you are moving in, offers such facilities. Knowing it all prior to hiring some moving company can save your time and money.
Ask if you can reshape the outlook?
Your aesthetic senses will come into action when you move into a new place. You may not like that old tube light on the wall, or maybe the doorknobs need a re-touch. You have all the right to ask for permission of changing or tweaking up the points which you feel likely to be. Let it be changing a leaky faucet, replacing or adding light fixtures, some cabinetry touch-up or reinstall the switchboards- You can manage it all once the landlords are in agreement with you. Don’t forget to keep the old items once you replace them with new ones, maybe the landlords will ask for the originals.
Ask about the rights you have!
You should map your rights as a tenant in your mind. This will make the communications with your landlord, easier. You two can always discuss the entailment of the applicability of your rights. Both parties need to come on the same page to mitigate the probability of future issues that typically arise between tenants and landlords. Things discussed beforehand are always a smart move.
