Stop Inspecting Occupied Rentals

[Travis Bohling]

Landlords and Property Managers should stop inspecting occupied rentals.
For residents, an inspection feels like a prison shakedown without the cavity search.
For owners, negative goodwill with the residents and some photos. No thanks!

There is a better way.
Preventative Maintenance

Once a year complete some or all of these tasks:
🛠 Repair drips instead of floods
🛠Change the air filter
🛠Flush the water heater
🛠Recaulk where necessary
🛠Rinse HVAC coils
🛠Test smoke detectors
🛠Add missing doorstops
🛠Adjust sticky doors/locks
❄ Winterization
📷 Snap a few photos

Flip the script on inspections and deliver value instead.

Why?
Residents feel valued rather than distrusted
Owners/landlords increase renewal rates and reduce maintenance/turn costs
Managers save time with 1 work order and invoice instead of many

What other value could we create in this 1 visit?
