How does one ensure that the house they are moving into has not been dwelled or is being dwelled by evil spirits (Jinn and Shayateen)?

Answer

There is no need to be suspicious of the house being dwelt with evil spirits. However, it is advisable to recite Surah Baqarah when moving in a new premises as the recitation of Surah Baqarah keeps the Shaytaan away.
