8 Questions To Ask as You Search for an Apartment During the Coronavirus Pandemic

Can you show me the apartment live? Since you cannot tour the apartment in person, the next best thing is a live video tour.
Can you send me the floor plan? If an apartment is already occupied and a live viewing is not possible, request a floor plan.
What is the closet space like? Ask for the measurements of each closet and get photos, if possible, for a better idea of the closet layout.
Where are the services (supermarkets etc.) located in relation to the property? The rental could be located farther away from shops or entertainment centers than you originally assumed when looking at a map. Get the deets!
What does the apartment look out on? The last thing you need is to stay awake all night because of a sign with flashing lights across the street.
Would you live here? You don’t want to move into just any old apartment. A good way to try to gauge the true value of a unit is to ask your future landlord or property manager whether they would be willing to take up residence themselves in the property.
What is the price and lease terms? This may be an obvious point to make, but you’ll want to be absolutely clear on the price, lease terms, renter qualifications, and availability of the unit.
What about the moving process? It’s an evolving scenario with each building deciding independently interim moving policies during the lockdown period. You gotta know!
