I am a tenant in Canada for more than 13 years, the following are the hints I would like to share with all future tenants. If I do not say it properly, please feel free to add your comment.

----- As a tenant, how to select a good place to live? -----

1. Cost - Is it reasonable? How was it comparing to the other place I looked at?
2. Location - Is it close to bus stop, grocery store, school?
3. Size - How big is the place?

10. Utility - Is it included? It may cost a lot depends on your usage.
11. Condition of the place – Clean? Tidy? Stink? Dirty? Any maintenance? Recent renovation? Any damage in the place?
