The standard and quality of finishes in many properties vary tremendously. Improvements at the landlord's expense such as redecoration or provision of furnishings are points for negotiation and must be raised at the time of the lease negotiation. The property you intend to rent should also be well managed and have a professional property manager, and this should be checked prior to signing the lease.

| Check the socket locations for telephones, TVs aerials and computers. |
| Is cable TV connected? If not, can it be done? What TV channels are provided by the building management? |

| Facilities - Modern & Old |
|
|
|
Modern residential complexes often provide communal recreational facilities which may include a children playground, a swimming pool, a gym room, tennis courts or squash courts. Old residential blocks, on the other hand, may not offer any of such facilities. Then, the rent or management fee may not be as high.
