Although you are not entering into an agreement to buy a flat, it is also important to consider the following questions before renting a flat:

• What type of property that I want? Apartment or house?
• Is it an individual flat or shared with others?
• How much of rent can I afford?
• How long is the rental period?
• Besides the rental, what other expenses that I should be responsible for?
• Any furniture / electrical appliances provided in the flat?
• How is the infrastructure / transportation network around?
• How long does it require traveling from the flat to school? What is the cost?
• Has the flat been mortgaged? Whether the bank has agreed the flat being rented out?
