But always worth asking to see what the vibe in the building is. Thanks for adding that to the list. Shuey, Such a good point.

Water, electricity, phone, cable internet (you have to pay two people for internet), gas for the stove... Also, after living here for nearly a year, my landlord just told us we owe him 700 NIS for liability insurance. Also ask about how ofter you have to pay rent (monthly or every three), what the damage deposit is etc. You can be forking over a lot of cash in that first month.

If you go on vacation, a great way to make some quick cash is to rent it out to others (especially during the holiday or summer seasons). Some landlords let, others don't. BTW, really nice comprehensive list. Shuey @nonprofitbanker Ability to sublet the apartment.
