Kevin, look for water damage (signs of a leaky roof, or flooding), and make sure the heat works (turn it up and make sure it comes on). If you have a car, make sure there's parking, and ask where guests can park. Ask about the neighbors. Ask which appliances come with the flat. Make sure those seem to be working. Make sure there's sufficient closet and storage space. Ask about laundry facilities.
I mean, let's say you did kill us. Or didn't. There could be torture. Whatever. But somehow you found the goods. What would your cut be?

So that warm weather I had yesterday? Is gone. Supposed to drop into the 30s today. It's already dropped at least 10 degrees since 6 am. Windy.
And yet? My office is too warm so I have the window cracked open.

Make sure the plumbing works. No, seriously, turn on a couple faucets, flush the toilet. See if the heat in the water comes up fast or if you're waiting and waiting. Flip light switches, too.
Kevin, This? I did not look for in the place I've lived for 8 years. Still waiting multiple minutes for hot water...finally purchased a 'hot pot' for the bathroom sink so that I can wash my hands in something other than icecubes.
Also, look around the perimeter for possible noise sources. It's hard to tell when you are only there for a short period...but give a look anyway.
Smells. Take a deep whiff in the hallways for cooking smells, smoke, rubbish.
But beyond all the cautions...good luck!

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
I remembered to wear my heavy coat. I didn't need it this morning, but I will by this evening, when it's supposed to be in the 20s.
