Is “near the L train” based on a specific walking time?

Ask about heat and hot water reliability, plumbing condition, electrical capacity, and whether the building has completed major repairs recently. Also confirm what costs are included (utilities) versus paid separately.

How do I use renter signals if they conflict with what a landlord tells me?

Bring the specific items you noticed to the conversation. Ask for current status, repair timelines, and any documentation, then compare that with what’s stated in the lease and move-in materials.
