What This Inspection Is For

Rental inspections are ideal for:

  • Pre-lease or tenant move-in documentation

  • Move-out condition assessments

  • Annual or periodic rental evaluations

  • Owner reviews of tenant-occupied properties

  • Investor or out-of-state owner oversight

This service focuses on the current condition and safety of the property, not code enforcement or municipal compliance unless specifically requested.

  • Roof, exterior, siding, doors, and windows

  • Foundation, structure, and visible framing

  • Electrical system and visible wiring

  • Plumbing fixtures and visible plumbing components

  • Heating and cooling systems

  • Interior walls, ceilings, floors, and doors

  • Kitchen and bathroom fixtures and appliances (as present)

  • Safety items such as smoke detectors, handrails, and egress

What You Receive

  • A written inspection report documenting observed conditions

  • Clear descriptions of deficiencies, damage, and safety concerns

  • Photo documentation of notable findings

Important Notes

  • This is not a municipal or city rental inspection and does not replace any local government inspection requirements.
