Housing: questions before signing
For this city’s climate, focus on cooling, moisture and rain.
- Does each bedroom have air conditioning, when was it cleaned, and is it noisy overnight?
- Is electricity paid to the utility or the landlord? What per-kWh rate is written in the lease?
- Any musty smell, mould or leaks? Request video of cupboards and ceilings after rain.
- Do opening windows have screens, where does rainwater drain, and how is laundry dried in the wet season?
Wildlife: what to consider
Household & sanitation
Not “harmless”, but no alarmismCockroaches: kitchens, bathrooms, gaps and food storage. A household sanitation issue, not a claim that every home is infested.
SourceDisease vectors
Species, season and local conditions matterAedes mosquitoes: dengue transmission can occur year-round, with rainy-season peaks. Risk is not identical across neighborhoods.
SourceVenomous & dangerous
Presence does not mean frequent encountersSome snakes; flooding can increase contact with people. Do not try to catch them yourself.
SourceCity encounter frequency is not quantified: no percentages or frequent/rare rating is available. Inspect the property, screens, drains, waste, standing water and seasonal warnings. Sources of differing dates checked 12 September 2026; categories can overlap.
