Pre-Move-In Inspections
Before moving in to a property, landlords will usually require tenants to submit a security deposit that will cover any damages that might occur during their lease term. Therefore, it’s essential for both parties to conduct an inspection when moving-in and moving-out occurs.
An inspection should include an assessment of interior walls, ceilings, windows, doors, appliances and more. Furthermore, utilities like washer and dryer, dishwasher and oven vent must all function as expected before utilities can be tested for functionality. Finally, landlords must test smoke and carbon monoxide detectors.
An extensive property inspection report will serve both landlord and tenant by setting a baseline of condition at the beginning of their lease agreement. Once tenants leave, landlords can compare this report against what actually exists to assess any damages and subsequently deduct from security deposits accordingly.
Post-Move-Out Inspections
After each of your renters moves out, it is imperative that a property inspection takes place. This allows you to stay abreast of its condition between tenants, assess any damage that requires deductions from security deposits and evaluate any vacancies that need filling.
Landlords should inform their tenants about an inspection, and allow them to join. However, it’s best to conduct the inspection alone so you can focus on finding any hidden damage, such as paint chips underneath furniture or behind appliances.
Differentiating between normal wear and tear and damage that requires significant repairs is also key, as excessive damage could incur significant repair costs that reduce how much can be deducted from a tenant’s deposit. That is why conducting inspections at the end of every lease period is so essential.
Building inspectors conduct a full evaluation of buildings from both inside and out, inspecting everything from how the walls were constructed to whether emergency exits can open in an emergency situation. They also assess any equipment used during construction such as cranes as well as plans and permits necessary for any new works being conducted on any given property.
