Move Out Inspection - PA Law

[Karen Johnson]

Hello everyone,

Does PA landlord-tenant law require tenant to be present during move-out inspection? I could not find anything to that effect. I was contemplating just having the tenant leave the keys and forwarding address at the property, and then doing a move-out inspection after the property is vacant. I would take lots of pictures and provide a detailed move-out report. We did a move-in inspection with the tenant and a detailed move-in report when tenant first leased the property. If tenant requests, then I would agree to have him present for a walk-through. I just want to make sure I'm in compliance with the law. If there are any other cons to this, I'm happy to hear them.  For what it's worth, this tenant has been stellar throughout his stay and has kept the property in great condition overall.

Thanks!
