About Apartments and Flats

Apartments and flats are types of housing that are typically found in urban areas. An apartment is a self-contained unit that is part of a larger building, and it typically includes a kitchen, bathroom, and one or more rooms. A flat is similar to an apartment, but it is typically found in a smaller building or a converted house, and it may have more character or features than a modern apartment. Apartments and flats are a popular housing option for many people, especially in cities where space is limited and single-family homes may be expensive or scarce. Apartments and flats are typically rented, and the tenant is responsible for paying rent and other applicable fees or charges. The landlord is typically responsible for maintaining the property and providing necessary repairs and services.
