Home inspection for rental properties - Landlord Responsibilities

[Ryan Bird]

I’m planning to convert my primary residence to a rental property. I’m wondering if I should do a one time full blown home inspection (similar to one during buy/sell) and fix everything prior to renting out. I did it while I was buying the property but that was 3 years ago.

Of course I don’t want to spend too much here but I also want to make sure I cover major issues, create a checklist of what’s done and avoid any liabilities for negligence. Thoughts on the right approach here? Any checklist on mandatory ones? ( radon testing? )

Mostly looking for an one time thing before renting it out the first time. In addition, a checklist for periodic inspections between tenants would also be great.
