How often will it be inspected?

Don’t forget to ask the owner how often they’ll inspect the place while you’re living there. It’s natural for the owner to want to know about the state of their apartment. However, sometimes they cross a line and keep their tenants under total control.

The only way to protect yourself from the owner’s constant presence in the apartment is to write the frequency of visits into the contract. It’s desirable that the owner comes no more than once a month and at a pre-agreed time. This visit can be combined with paying the rent.
