The love of my life and I recently got married and moved into a rented apartment. We chose the place particularly because it had good flooring, high ceiling, a good rate, and the location was accessible to public transportation and within the vicinity of most of our peer groups. What we didn't notice were other stuff that I would like to share, which you might find helpful:
1. Neighborhood - All our neighbors consists of morning people. They make loud noises in the morning and are in their beds at around 8pm. Early huh? Yuppies like us are just the opposite =). We also have a neighbor who makes regular animal-like sounds at different times of the day. We think he/she may be deranged to some extent =O. Lastly, we have a neighbor that smokes a lot of the time.
2. How the house holds itself during heavy rains - you don't usually notice this when you visit a prospective place to stay--unless of course you're making rounds during heavy rainfall. You may want to check for leaks or drainage and roof problems. This will save you from a lot of hassel come the rainy season.
