First time I moved into a place, I had no idea what to do and had no one to help me. So I just tried on my best poker face and mimicked what I'd seen my Papa do when he used to check out new cars or trailers or model homes. "Uhh, well there's a sink, I should turn the knobs. And here's the utility closet, I should peer around where the pipes lead." I didn't do a very good job but I noticed the landlord suddenly got more talkative about when it was all last updated and when their handyman typically came around. 👀

Going to do a walk through tomorrow and this is exactly what I needed, perfect.

So glad I found this fantastic video as I set out on my first flat viewing in 25 years which I hope wil be my new home!

This is a very thorough video.

Thank you so much! This is exactly what I was looking for.

Filmed in the 1980's?

The person doing this video looks like they just got out of bed

This was so helpful, great video! Thank you so much

My financial course is forcing me to watch this. RIP

You're welcome! Thank you!

Many thanks . Got all information we need.

"(T)urn the dishwasher on..." I would add to that: listen to it filling with water and splashing the water around. Then, advance the timer to the drain portion if manual or use the Cancel/Drain function. Advance to the dry portion if manual or otherwise hold your hand near the burner to ensure that heat is coming from it. After this, check for leaks below the unit and where the unit is connected to the plumbing, as advised in the video.

Excellent!

GREAT JOB!

Excellent

Lots to think about. Thanks for the list!

kingspaniel What do you do if a tenant does not leave utilities on before the move out walkthrough? Do you charge?

Thanks! I have a lease starting and the furnace is clearly out of maintenance order as all the vents are filthy, so we didn't accept the unit. we gave the deposit and we're waiting for him to fix that before moving in. Also forced air heat control doesn't seem to be working and without any heat I believe this new home is inhabitable for now. Does that mean that our lease is void? Or I need to give the tenant the legal time to fix it, even if I didn't move in yet? Thanks again

The cheaper the rent the faster away from the slumplex you should run

That stove looks like a fire hazard ....too close to the wall.

I'm based in Sydney Australia and unfortunately the conditional report is only done after the rental bond and deposit is taken and I didn't get access to the place until moving day so now I have to take some photos while I'm unpacking. What is your advise on this ?

YEAH UM WHAT IF THEY UNBOLT THE ELECTRIC BOX PANEL AND PULL IT OUT OF THE WALL AND THEN THEY YANKED UP CARPET IN THE CORNERS AND EMPTIED MY CLOSETS BREAKING THINGS ALONG THE WAY THEY LEFT MY OVEN ON FULL BLAST, THEY CRITISIZED MY TUB IT WAS MOSTLY CLEAN WITH HARD WATER STAINS HERE AND THERE, THEY GOT IN MY FRIDGE PULLED IT OUT FROM THE WALL FUCKED UP THE FLOOR WHEN THEY DID THAT. I SAID WE ARE DONE GET THE FUCK OUT YOU'RE DAMAGING MY STUFF AND MY APARTMENT, I LOCKED THEM OUT

At first I thought the video quality was off, but turns out this was extremely helpful. As long as I can get the information, who cares about the quality. The lady knows her stuff - it's likely not part of her job description to be on camera. It's ok not to have a smiling person cracking jokes with memes and gifs every 5 seconds to keep our dying attention spans engaged.
