3rd Party Inspection of my Home because I pull Credit

I just had an inspection of my home because I pull credit on my applicants for my rentals.

I have only been a real estate investor for 2 years. I bought my first rental a little over a year ago. I use Tenant Check of MN to do my credit and background. This year, they said if I have them pull credit on an applicant, they have to send an 3rd party inspector to my home.

The inspector showed up on a sunday(?) and wanted to see my office. I do have a home office in a basement bedroom. They took pictures of my desk, my filing cabinet, the lock on my filing cabinet, my shredder (wanted to know if it was a cross-cut), the lock on the basement bedroom door and my laptop. They asked if my laptop was password protected and what antivirus I used. All this was written down and then they took a picture of my front door with my house number on it..

Anyone else go through this? Is this a normal procedure now?
