Property inspections: what you need to know.

Regular property inspections are a vital practice for landlords, providing long-term benefits. By actively monitoring your property's condition, you can maintain its value, ensure tenant satisfaction, and protect your investment. Here are some common types of property inspections:

Move-in Inspections

These involve landlords and tenants jointly assessing the property's condition during the move-in process. Documenting the property's state through notes or photographs helps prevent disputes over pre-existing issues.

Routine Inspections

Conducted once or twice a year routine inspections aim to evaluate the overall condition of the property and identify maintenance or safety concerns. Providing advance notice for these inspections is crucial, in line with lease agreements and state regulations.

Move-out Inspections

When a tenant vacates the property, landlords perform move-out inspections to compare its condition to the initial move-in assessment. This evaluation is essential in determining any damages beyond normal wear and tear, especially for assessing the return of the tenant's security deposit.
