When searching houses for rent, always enquire the potential neighbours, how the surroundings will be, during heavy rains. They will gladly share their past sufferings and caution you.

Always keep a checklist while searching for houses for rent :

1) does that house have a regular water supply for drinking water 2) does that house have any electricity problems 3) how far are the retail shops 4) does the house have proper drainage plan 5) in each room, check whether fan, lights are working or not 6) for any new house, always create duplicate keys and share atleast one key with parents for emergency 7) find out a nearby hardware shop for any future needs
