Red Flags for Renters to Watch Out For

29. Renters need to keep an eye out for mysterious droppings.

Any sort of animal droppings should give any potential home renters pause when doing a walk-through or inspection. Look out for droppings under the sink. This is often a sign of mice living in the home. Droppings near a water heater can also indicate roaches, even if you don’t see any running around at the time. Although no one could have been living in the home or apartment for months, bed bugs are also a possibility since they can survive up to a year without food.
