DESCRIPTION
Rental property inspections involve assessing the property’s condition before the tenant takes occupation & after the tenant vacates. The assessment includes a detailed report outlining the outcomes, often with photographs attached. The purpose of the incoming and outgoing inspections is to avoid conflict and end any property condition disagreements. However, the property inspections need to be thorough to be effective.
BENEFITS
Prospective Tenant: A rental inspection educates a tenant on everything they need to know about the property. It tells the prospective tenant if the property is in good living condition or not. This information is especially relevant as the tenant can miss visible and hidden issues when touring the property. An added benefit is that WHJ inspectors are professionals and experienced in looking for any unsafe elements in a home that may not be obvious to the tenant.
Landlord: A rental inspection after a lease concludes is helpful to the landlord, as any property damages will be identifiable by a WHJ inspector. The landlord can use the inspection report outcomes for reimbursement on issues incurred by the tenant. The report is also helpful for implementing identified maintenance actions to ensure the property remains in tip-top condition.
Landlords and renters often differ on who is liable for repairs or damages to a rental property. An inspection by WHJ Inspections resolves this issue and benefits both parties, as it provides an accurate and unbiased assessment.
