Routine inspections of your Weston rental property will save you money. When you’re consistently conducting inspections, you’re noticing maintenance issues and repair needs. Deferred and unreported maintenance always costs more than preventative maintenance.
Routine home inspections are also part of protecting the condition of your home. When we inspect your home thoroughly and routinely, we’ll save you money on unexpected emergencies.
Move-In Inspections Document Rental Property ConditionThere’s no need to waste money making repairs and fixing damage that isn’t your responsibility. The role of a move-in inspection is to document the condition of your Weston rental property. Before you have a tenant move into your home, you want to make sure you go through the property carefully. Take a lot of pictures. Write a lot of notes. Make sure there is no uncertainty about what this property looks like.
You’ll want to check for any last-minute repairs or cleaning that needs to be done before a tenant moves in. When you deliver a clean and well-maintained home, you can expect to get one back. Look for leaks, appliances that aren’t working, and lights that won’t turn on. We make a list and have the repairs done immediately.
We always recommend clear and abundant documentation. You want an inspection report that accurately reflects the condition of the property before you hand over the keys to your tenants. We’ll take pictures and videos of every detail, including paint condition, floors, doors, walls, ceilings, and closets.
Move-Out Inspections for Weston Rental Property
After the tenancy is over and the tenant is moving out, you’ll need to do another inspection using the initial inspection report. You’ll easily see where things have been damaged or neglected. While normal wear and tear is expected and allowed, the pictures you took and the notes you made will help you determine whether anything should be deducted from the security deposit. Tenant damage might include broken drawers and cupboards, large holes in walls, scratches in the flooring, torn or stained carpet, and appliances that were broken and misused.
Annual Inspections During a TenancyInspecting your property while the tenant is in place will save you money in a couple of important ways:
- You won’t have to worry about deferred or unreported maintenance, which is always more expensive than the simple fixes that are made when a problem is first noticed.
- You can make sure the tenant is following the terms of the lease and not creating any damage that you’ll have to pay for after they leave.
