Feline owners who are renters can face challenges every time they move from one rental to another. Their cat may have the best cat litter box habits in the world, but if the new apartment has cat urine damage from the previous tenant, the cycle could be repeated.

indicates the apartment has sheltered cats, ask if the departing resident properly cleaned the place to eliminate any cat urine odors. If the landlord says no, or isn't certain, ask if you can go into the apartment for a quick look.
If you gain access, use the best piece of equipment you have: your nose. Stand still inside the door, and sniff carefully. If it smells cat urine-free, move through the rest of the apartment and repeat at intervals. If you smell anything remotely like cat urine odor, look around to see if you can find the source. If you can, great - let the landlord know. If you can't see it, but you do smell it, tell the property manager it needs further investigating before you move in.
