What should Houston renters ask about an apartment’s flood history?

Quick answer

For properties completed in 2017 or earlier, ask whether units, garages, elevators, mechanical systems, entrances, or access roads flooded during Hurricane Harvey; then ask what repairs and mitigation followed. For newer properties, ask about later storms, drainage, leaks, garages, and access roads.
