Plumbing Flush the toilet and check the faucets to make sure they work without dripping. Make sure the drains are clear and water pressure is adequate. Kitchen appliances Make sure they are clean and working properly.
Walls Note any peeling paint, cracks in the plaster, holes in walls, floors or doors.
If the unit is carpeted, make sure all stains are listed on the inspection form. Ceilings Check for any brown spots that might indicate a leaky roof or leaky overhead plumbing. Stairs Check for broken steps and wobbly banisters, whether stairs are inside or outside the apartment. Pests Look for evidence of ants, roaches or rats. Check for broken glass or missing screens.
