scheduling an inspection

[Spencer Herrick]

I have a tennant that I'm a bit concerned about regarding the inside of the residence. If it's anything like the yard before I made him clean it up, it's going to be horrendous. I was just wondering, in your experience, what has been your most successful tactic for scheduling an inspection.. Thanks in advance!

Quote from @Mackaylee Beach:

I also specify in my lease agreement that inspections will be conducted with a 24-hour notice when necessary. 
If access to the property is consistently denied, lease violations are enforced.

 I agree with Mrs. Beach, 

I would also suggest that you schedule an inspector or some sort of third party. Tenants like that can be a lot more hostile to a landlord they know is going to be upset with them. Best part about a 3rd party inspection is that the inspector can say "I'm just doing my job" and psychologically the tenants are a lot nicer and more understanding when they can say that. It is not a jedi mind trick but it is close.
