Tenant Inspection Form

[Jonathan Cronkite]

Anyone know of a rental inspection report a landlord can use to do periodic inspections?

A report that includes a detailed checklist of things to inspect by room, etc.

I have in my contract that I can do periodic inspections but want someway to document the condition of the property.

I've searched here and online. I'm willing to pay for a document I can edit. I'm sure the online services would be too costly considering I only have a handful of rentals.

Thanks, I really appreciate it.

We do inspections twice a year on properties we manage. What we do is make sure fire extinguisher is filled, smoke detectors are where they should be. Noticeable lease violations? Like a pitbull, someone sleeping in the living room. Is the property going to attract vermin? Major issues on exterior (like facia that is loose from a storm) or inside (like mold in the bathroom from them taking hot showers).

Stuff like that. In October we check all heating units to make sure the boilers fire on. In and out in 5 minutes per apartment. That's all you need to do and it's more than enough IMO.
