5 Things to Check Before Renting a Property

April 27, 2026 — Eneo Team

You've found a place that looks perfect. The photos are stunning, the price fits your budget, and the location is exactly where you want to be. But before you book a viewing — or worse, commit to a lease — here are five critical things to check on every Eneo listing.

Location accuracy — GPS-pinned, not guessed. Every property on Eneo is pinned with exact GPS coordinates. Tap "Open in Google Maps" on any listing to see exactly where it sits. Is it really 5 minutes from the main road, or 25? The map doesn't lie.

Landlord response rate. On the landlord card, look for the response rate percentage. A 94% response rate means the landlord almost always responds. A low rate? They might leave you waiting after you book.

Photos and area details. Listings with multiple clear photos and accurate area measurements (m²) show a landlord who takes their listing seriously. Blurry photos or missing details are red flags.

Reviews from previous tenants. Read what others said. Did the landlord show up on time? Was the property as described? Reviews give you insight that photos can't.

Direct communication — call, don't just text. Once you book, you get the landlord's phone number. A quick call tells you more about the person than days of texting. If they answer promptly and sound professional, that's a great sign.
