We Perform Inspections at All Leasing Stages

As the owner of rental properties, there are many instances where you want to complete thorough property inspections to assess the condition of your units. Whether a tenant is moving out or a new one is moving in, you want to know the status of the property and what may need to be done to return it to an acceptable state. We have a team of professionals with proper training and keen attention to detail to find anything problematic. You can count on us to handle inspections at all stages of the leasing process, whether it’s at the time of the signing, during a move-in, or during a move-out. During one of our inspections, you can expect us to be very thorough and look for:

Outdated or broken appliances
Any signs of damage
Concerns with the HVAC system
Proper operation of smoke detectors
Signs of water leaks under sinks or around toilet and tub
Tenant abuse

Sign-On Inspections

Some tenants are ready to take the plunge and commit to a lease upon first seeing the rental space. If that’s the case, we can complete a sign-on inspection right away to document any small imperfections for the tenant. This helps to protect your tenant from unnecessary charges upon move-out, giving them peace of mind that they’re working with a trustworthy landlord. In addition, this also helps you as a property owner and us as your property manager keep tabs on the condition of every unit. We'll note anything that's amiss and save it as part of the property records.

Move-In Inspections

Move-in inspections are a must in the rental industry, as documentation of these inspections can help to resolve any disputes about damage when a tenant decides to move out. Though you want your move-in-ready units to be as clean and pristine as possible, there’s always a chance that some small imperfections may be left behind by a previous tenant. For example, there may be a small stain on the carpet or ding in an appliance. Move-in inspections document these imperfections so that they’re noted, and the tenant cannot be charged for them upon move out. By having this documentation, you have proof that no significant damage was present at the time of move-in. Therefore, the tenant cannot dispute move-out charges for the damage they caused by attempting to say the unit was already damaged upon their arrival.

Move-Out Inspections

Move-out inspections are another vital part of property management. It’s important that these inspections are completed promptly upon move out before any restoration work begins, as this allows for an accurate assessment of the condition the former tenant left the unit in. Our team can take care of this task for you and ensure that any damage not caused by normal wear and tear is noted. By signing a lease, tenants agree that they will not damage the unit, and if they do, they'll be held financially responsible. Our team will do a thorough move-out inspection of your vacant units, taking photos of any severe damage to keep on file. When you have both a detailed move-in and move-out inspection sheet, there is very little the tenant can do to dispute claims that they caused the damage and must pay for it.

Always Documenting Property Condition

A major component of managing a successful rental property is always keeping an eye on the condition of your units. As a landlord, you are allowed to complete annual inspections of your rental units and send in contractors to complete repairs when tenants request them. These are excellent opportunities to check on the condition of the unit and ensure your tenants are following the details of the lease and adequately maintaining the property. Whenever one of our vendors is called to a unit for repair, we always have them document the property condition. This allows us to keep better records of each unit and to address any lease violations early on.
