# Apartment Viewing Checklist Prompt for Renters

A reusable prompt that turns your priorities and dealbreakers into a room-by-room viewing checklist, host questions, scoring and comparison table.

## Start here

Open an ordinary AI chat that accepts text (for example the chat box of a general assistant). Paste the full prompt below, then add your own inputs in the same message. There is no software to install.

Inputs to paste:

- Must-have priorities and nice-to-have priorities.
- Dealbreakers.
- Budget range and target areas.
- Household size and needs (pets, workspace, accessibility, commute).
- Viewing format (in person, self-guided or video tour) and time per viewing.

How to check the output:

- Section A repeats your priorities as bullets; anything you did not state is marked as a placeholder such as [NEED: commute tolerance].
- Section B lists short check lines with room for a note, grouped by area in a sensible walking order.
- Section C is only questions to ask the host, not advice.
- Section D scores five to seven criteria mapped to your priorities, plus one line for gut reaction, and a comparison table with one column per viewing.
- Section E lists what you still need to fill in before the first viewing.

If a priority is missing from the checklist or from the scoring block, ask the assistant to revise those two sections.

## What this is

This is an original TokRepo reusable writing/preparation prompt. It produces a checklist and note-taking template only. It does not judge a specific apartment, landlord, lease or price, and it does not give legal, financial or safety advice.

## Prepare your inputs

Write your priorities as concrete wishes where you can: "quiet bedroom", "strong water pressure", "under 30 minutes to downtown". Subjective words are acceptable, because the prompt turns them into observable questions such as "With windows closed, can I hear street or neighbors?".

## Copy the prompt

Copy the complete prompt text supplied with this asset into the chat. Add your inputs after it in the same message. If you have not provided any inputs, the prompt asks you for them first.

## Sections you will get

| Section | Content |
| --- | --- |
| A | Understanding check: your priorities as bullets, assumptions marked |
| B | Viewing checklist under area headings, with note space |
| C | Ask-the-host questions for items you cannot verify yourself |
| D | Scoring block and comparison table skeleton |
| E | Missing information list |

The prompt covers typical areas such as exterior and building, entry and hallway, kitchen, bathroom, bedrooms, living area, storage, utilities and systems, noise and light, neighborhood and commute, and paperwork questions.

## Limitations and permissions

- Source reviewed; runtime not tested. This worker did not open a chat session or run the prompt.
- The prompt uses only what you supply plus clearly labelled general items. It must not invent facts about a property.
- Sensitive topics are framed as questions for the host or a professional, not as advice.
- The checklist is a memory aid, not an inspection or a contract review.
- Keep personal details you would not want stored out of the chat if your assistant provider retains conversations.

## FAQ

**Can I use it for a video tour?**
Yes. State the viewing format, and the material still works: you mark items as seen, unseen or to ask about.

**What if two priorities conflict?**
The prompt lists the conflict and asks you which one wins before building the final checklist.

**Does it tell me whether to sign?**
No. It scores your own criteria and leaves the judgment to you.

## Complete reusable prompt

You are helping me prepare for apartment viewings. I will give you (a) my must-have and nice-to-have priorities, (b) any dealbreakers, (c) budget and location constraints, and (d) the viewing format (in person, self-guided, or video tour). Build one reusable viewing checklist I can carry or copy into notes, organized by area, with blank space to write observations next to each item. This is preparation only: produce a checklist and note-taking template, not advice about any specific apartment, landlord, lease, or price negotiation.

INPUT I WILL PROVIDE
- Priorities (must-have and nice-to-have), dealbreakers, budget range, target areas, household size and needs (e.g., pets, workspace, accessibility, commute), viewing format, and how much time I get per viewing.

TASK
1. Restate my priorities in a short bullet list so I can confirm you understood them.
2. Convert each priority into one or more concrete, observable checklist items phrased as a question or a check (not vague labels like "good condition").
3. Group the checklist by area in a sensible viewing order, for example: exterior and building, entry and hallway, kitchen, bathroom, bedroom(s), living area, storage, utilities and systems, noise and light, neighborhood and commute, paperwork questions.
4. Add a small set of universal items any renter should verify (e.g., water pressure, hot water, phone signal, windows that open, locks, smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, signs of damp, storage dimensions).
5. Add a short "ask the host" question list covering items I cannot verify myself (heating and cooling costs, included utilities, deposit and fees, notice periods, maintenance response, parking, rules about pets, guests, or subletting).
6. Add a quick scoring block: five to seven criteria mapped to my priorities, each rated on a simple scale, plus one line for overall gut reaction.
7. Add a comparison table format I can reuse across multiple apartments, with one column per viewing.

CONSTRAINTS
- Use only my stated priorities and clearly labelled general checklist items. Do not assume or invent details about any property.
- If I have not given enough to build a section, insert a placeholder like [NEED: commute tolerance] instead of guessing.
- Keep item wording short enough to check off while walking through a room.
- Do not give legal, financial, or safety advice; frame anything sensitive as a question to ask the host or a professional.
- No emojis, no motivational filler, no marketing tone.

OUTPUT FORMAT
A) Understanding check: my priorities as bullets, with any assumptions marked.
B) Viewing checklist under area headings; each item is a check line with room for a one-word note and a short note area.
C) Ask-the-host questions.
D) Scoring block and comparison table skeleton.
E) Missing information list: everything I should fill in before the first viewing.

UNCERTAINTY HANDLING
- Where my priority is subjective (e.g., "quiet"), turn it into something observable (e.g., "Can I hear traffic or neighbors with windows closed?") and note that judgment is mine.
- If two priorities conflict, list them and ask me which wins.

REVIEW BEFORE USE
- Confirm every checklist item traces back to one of my priorities or is a clearly labelled general item.
- Confirm no item implies knowledge of a specific property.
- Confirm placeholders are obvious and easy to fill in.
- Confirm the scoring criteria match my stated priorities, not generic rankings.

WORKED EXAMPLE (fictional)
Input: Must-have: quiet bedroom, strong water pressure, under 30 minutes to downtown. Nice-to-have: dishwasher, balcony. Dealbreakers: ground-floor street-facing unit. Budget: stated range. Format: 20-minute in-person viewing.
Output shape: 
- Understanding check bullets (quiet bedroom, water pressure, commute, dishwasher, balcony, ground floor excluded).
- Kitchen: "Does the tap stay strong with hot water running? [ ] note:". Bathroom: "Any damp smell or peeling paint near shower? [ ] note:". Bedroom: "With windows closed, can I hear street or neighbors? [ ] note:".
- Ask the host: "What is the typical monthly heating and cooling cost?"
- Score: Quiet [1-5], Water pressure [1-5], Commute [1-5], Gut reaction [line].
- Missing: exact commute address and time of day to test.
Pass/fail checks on this example: I can open the checklist and mark each priority in under 20 minutes (pass); every item is observable without special tools (pass); no item claims facts about the specific unit (pass); a subjective priority like "quiet" has been made observable (pass). If any priority is missing from the checklist or the scoring block, the output fails and should be revised.

START
Ask me for the inputs above if I have not provided them. Then produce sections A through E. Keep the checklist compact enough to use during a single viewing.

# 租房看房清单提示词：按房间逐项核对

一条可复用提示词：把你的优先事项与不可接受条件，转成按房间排列的看房清单、房东提问、评分和对比表。

## 开始使用

打开一个能输入文字的普通 AI 对话窗口（例如通用助手的对话框）。把下方完整提示词粘贴进去，然后在同一条消息里补上你自己的输入。不需要安装任何软件。

要粘贴的输入：

- 必须满足的优先事项和最好能满足的优先事项。
- 不可接受条件（一票否决项）。
- 预算范围和目标区域。
- 家庭人数与需求（宠物、办公位、无障碍、通勤）。
- 看房方式（实地、自助看房或视频看房）以及每次看房的时间。

如何检查输出：

- A 部分用项目符号复述你的优先事项；你没说过的内容会标成占位符，例如 [NEED: commute tolerance]。
- B 部分按合理走动顺序分组，列出简短核对行，每行留有写备注的位置。
- C 部分只是向房东提问的问题，不是建议。
- D 部分对五到七项与你的优先事项对应的标准打分，加一行整体直觉判断，并给出每次看房占一列的比较表。
- E 部分列出第一次看房前仍需补充的信息。

如果某个优先事项没出现在清单或评分区里，让助手只修改这两部分。

## 这是什么

这是 TokRepo 的原创可复用写作／准备提示词。它只产出清单和记录模板，不评价具体房源、房东、租约或价格，也不提供法律、财务或安全建议。

## 准备你的输入

尽量把优先事项写成具体期望："安静的卧室""水压足""到市中心 30 分钟以内"。主观词也可以用，因为提示词会把它们转成可观察的问题，例如"关窗后能听到街道或邻居的声音吗？"。

## 复制提示词

把本资产附带的完整提示词文本复制到对话中，并在同一条消息里补上你的输入。如果你没有提供任何输入，提示词会先向你索取。

## 你会得到的内容

| 部分 | 内容 |
| --- | --- |
| A | 理解核对：用项目符号复述你的优先事项，标注假设 |
| B | 按区域分组的看房清单，留有备注空间 |
| C | 你自己无法核实、需要问房东的问题 |
| D | 评分区和比较表骨架 |
| E | 缺失信息清单 |

提示词覆盖的常见区域包括：外部与楼体、入口与走廊、厨房、卫生间、卧室、起居区、储物、水电与系统、噪音与采光、社区与通勤、文件问题。

## 限制与权限

- 来源已审阅；运行未测试。本工作者未实际打开对话或运行该提示词。
- 提示词只使用你提供的内容，加上明确标注的通用条目，不得编造房源事实。
- 敏感话题被写成向房东或专业人士提出的问题，而不是建议。
- 清单只是记忆辅助工具，不是验房，也不是合同审查。
- 如果你的助手服务商会保留对话记录，请不要把不愿被存储的个人信息放进对话。

## 常见问题

**视频看房也能用吗？**
可以。说明看房方式即可，材料同样适用：把条目标为已看、未看或待询问。

**两个优先事项互相冲突怎么办？**
提示词会先列出冲突，问你先保证哪一个，再生成最终清单。

**它会告诉我该不该签约吗？**
不会。它只按你自己的标准打分，判断留给你。

## 完整可复制提示词

你正在帮助我为看房做准备。我会给你（a）必须满足和最好能满足的优先事项，（b）任何不可接受条件（一票否决项），（c）预算和位置限制，以及（d）看房方式（实地、自助看房或视频看房）。请生成一份可复用的看房清单，我可以带着它或在笔记中复制它，按区域组织，并在每项旁边留出空白位置写观察记录。这只是准备工作：产出一份清单和记录模板，而不是关于任何具体公寓、房东、租约或价格谈判的建议。

我将提供的输入
- 优先事项（必须满足和最好能满足）、不可接受条件、预算范围、目标区域、家庭人数与需求（例如宠物、办公位、无障碍、通勤）、看房方式，以及每次看房我能有多少时间。

任务
1. 用简短的项目符号列表复述我的优先事项，以便我确认你已理解。
2. 把每项优先事项转换成一条或多条具体、可观察的清单条目，写成问题或核对项的形式（不要用"状况良好"这类模糊标签）。
3. 按合理的看房顺序把清单按区域分组，例如：外部与楼体、入口与走廊、厨房、卫生间、卧室、起居区、储物、水电与系统、噪音与采光、社区与通勤、文件问题。
4. 加入一小部分任何租客都应核实的通用条目（例如水压、热水、手机信号、可打开的窗户、门锁、烟雾和一氧化碳探测器、潮湿迹象、储物尺寸）。
5. 加入一份简短的"问房东"问题清单，涵盖我自己无法核实的内容（供暖和制冷费用、包含的公用事业费、押金和费用、通知期、维修响应、停车、关于宠物、访客或转租的规定）。
6. 加入一个快速评分区：五到七项与我的优先事项对应的标准，每项用简单量表打分，再加一行整体直觉判断。
7. 加入一个比较表格式，我可以跨多套公寓重复使用，每次看房占一列。

约束
- 只使用我陈述的优先事项和明确标注的通用清单条目。不要假设或编造任何房源的细节。
- 如果我提供的信息不足以构建某个部分，请插入占位符，例如 [NEED: commute tolerance]，而不是猜测。
- 条目措辞要足够简短，以便在走过一个房间时能勾选完成。
- 不要提供法律、财务或安全建议；把任何敏感内容写成向房东或专业人士提出的问题。
- 不使用表情符号，不写激励性填充内容，不采用营销语气。

输出格式
A) 理解核对：用项目符号列出我的优先事项，标注任何假设。
B) 按区域标题组织的看房清单；每项是一条核对行，留有写一个词备注和简短备注的位置。
C) 问房东的问题。
D) 评分区和比较表骨架。
E) 缺失信息清单：第一次看房前我应该填写的一切内容。

不确定性的处理
- 当我的优先事项是主观的（例如"安静"），把它转成可观察的内容（例如"关窗后能听到交通或邻居的声音吗？"），并注明判断由我作出。
- 如果两个优先事项冲突，列出它们并问我以哪个为准。

使用前审查
- 确认每条清单条目都能追溯到我的某条优先事项，或者是明确标注的通用条目。
- 确认没有任何条目暗示对具体房源的了解。
- 确认占位符明显且容易填写。
- 确认评分标准与我的优先事项相符，而不是通用排名。

示例（虚构）
输入：必须满足：安静的卧室、水压足、到市中心 30 分钟以内。最好能满足：洗碗机、阳台。不可接受条件：底层临街单元。预算：给定范围。方式：20 分钟实地看房。
输出形态：
- 理解核对要点（安静的卧室、水压、通勤、洗碗机、阳台、排除底层）。
- 厨房："开着热水时水龙头水流还稳定吗？[ ] 备注："。卫生间："淋浴附近有潮湿气味或油漆剥落吗？[ ] 备注："。卧室："关窗后能听到街道或邻居的声音吗？[ ] 备注："。
- 问房东："每月典型的供暖和制冷费用是多少？"
- 评分：安静 [1-5]、水压 [1-5]、通勤 [1-5]、直觉判断 [一行]。
- 缺失：用于测试通勤的确切地址和时段。
此示例的通过／失败检查：我能在 20 分钟内打开清单并标记每项优先事项（通过）；每条条目都能在不使用特殊工具的情况下观察（通过）；没有任何条目声称关于具体单元的事实（通过）；像"安静"这样的主观优先事项已被转成可观察的内容（通过）。如果某条优先事项没出现在清单或评分区里，输出即为失败，应当修改。

START
如果我没有提供上述输入，请先向我索取。然后生成 A 到 E 部分。清单要足够简洁，便于在一次看房过程中使用。
