Would your auto insurance cover a flooded or storm-damaged vehicle? Basic own-damage coverage may focus on collisions and exclude some natural-disaster losses. Check whether your policy includes a single-vehicle accident rider, along with exclusions, insured value, and rules involving negligence. Personal items inside the car are generally not covered. If your vehicle floods, don’t restart it. Photograph the waterline and scene, then contact your insurer promptly.

Before handing over the keys, make sure every move-out charge is clear. Confirm whether electricity and water are already included in management fees, then photograph the electricity, water, and gas meters.

A broken air conditioner can quickly turn into a dispute over repair costs—but monthly rent versus jeonse is not the main deciding factor. Check whether the unit was included with the leased property, who owns it, what caused the failure, and how any special repair clause is worded. If you need to arrange service, first notify the landlord and keep the technician’s diagnosis, estimate, response, approval, and receipt. Good records can make the cost discussion much clearer.

A little space around your AC outdoor unit can make a big difference. Boxes, laundry, plant pots, and other objects may block airflow or cause hot exhaust air to return to the intake. The result can be weaker cooling, longer operation, or protective shutdowns. Keep louvered windows open during operation, and use the clearance requirements in your unit’s installation manual—not an arbitrary rule. Avoid storing spray cans, fuel, cardboard, or anything that could create fire, corrosion, or falling-object risks nearby. The article also explains warning signs that mean it is time to stop the unit and request an inspection.
