Home inspection around renters belongings
I found a house I like but I’m having challenges because it’s renter occupied, there are boxes and stuff everywhere. The garage is full , closets are full.
The renter leaves July 31 (not a day earlier) but they want inspection ASAP so closing is early August. I prefer to wait until the house is empty. It’s 4 years old and had a recent leak. I’m very wary about mold. The house smells like animals
Local inspection company says house should be 75% empty so there is clear view of floors and walls. To me that sounds like most of her stuff needs to cleared out.
How empty is empty enough for an effective home inspection?
