Avoid pitfalls in renting or renovating

I am {{renting or renovating}}.

Copy this prompt

I am {{renting or renovating}}. Situation: {{context}}; budget: {{budget}}. Give a pitfall checklist: (1) eight things to inspect — water pressure, soundproofing, daylight hours, outlet placement, internet, drainage, walls, windows and doors; (2) clauses that must be in the contract — repair responsibility, deposit return conditions, rent increase or change-order rules, early termination; (3) the three most common omissions in renovation quotes — electrical and plumbing work, floor leveling, debris removal — with typical share of total cost; (4) five questions that reveal the real situation; (5) which 'discounts' are actually setup for a later markup and how to spot them.

How to use it

Replace the {{variables}} with your own details, then paste the whole block into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or any other assistant. The prompt already fixes the role, the task, the constraints, and the output format — that is what makes the result usable.

Chinese version
