Questions renters should ask before booking a viewing
A viewing request is stronger when the renter already knows the budget, move date, deposit expectations, and what deal-breakers matter most.

Know the paperwork before the tour
If a renter needs a co-signer, proof of income, or a specific move-in window, those details should be clear before a busy listing agent starts scheduling tours.
That saves both sides time.
Separate deal-breakers from preferences
Parking, pet rules, laundry, and lease timing can move between preference and deal-breaker depending on the household.
Writing that down early improves both search filters and showing requests.
