Room Measurements
Renter Answers

When choosing your new rental, be sure to get room measurements. Ask the property manager for a copy of the floor plan. Just in case one is not available, take a tape measure and notepad along with you.

In addition to measuring each room, be sure to jot down the locations of light switches, electrical outlets, cable TV outlets, phone jacks, windows and doors. All of these items can affect where you put things.

Then measure your existing furniture and draw up a plan for where everything will go. Planning ahead will make moving and getting settled less of a hassle.
