Home Inspections During Rental Term

[Kay M.]

I have rented out my first home for a one year lease. It's about 1/2 way into the lease term and I am thinking about doing an inspection. I would tell the tenant that I would like to regrout tiles, change air filters, reseal the granite, and check for water leaks and overall maintenance of the home while also checking the condition of the home.
I would like some opinions on if a mid term inspection is something that should be done?

If so, what do you tell your tenants?

Do you ask them to not be present during the inspection?

Thanks for your help.
