If things are a little tense or more business like, especially if you haven't me the seller or the listing agent, you can pull out those specific sections of the inspection report and type up an email explaining your request.You also have to consider if the inspection items were obvious when you did your initial tour of the property.If these are $5 items and you already knew about them, you have to gauge if its even worth asking for anything.In general, inspection report items should be held to previously unknown items or safety items like hand rails and carbon monoxide detectors.If these are real gotchas that nobody originally knew about, then it makes perfect sense to ask for a credit at closing or some other consideration.What you don't want to do is bog down the process with previously known items or a laundry list of items.

@Shannon Tidwell-Porth - This goes at DST change with the subject "Reminder: Cold Season Preventative Maintenance":Folks,As [Daylight Saving Time ends this Sunday], here is a checklist that every homeowner/renter should go through: 1.Replace smoke/carbon monoxide alarm batteries.The National Fire Protection Association suggests replacing your smoke and CO alarm batteries twice a year, which is why they also suggest the task coincide with the twice-annual time change.

Our new tenants are clean and awesome- we have through wired smoke and carbon monoxide and when an inspector or potential tenant walks in it is fresh, clean and beautiful.

But provide the basics -- water, heat, working electricity and lights, no safety hazards, proper safety equipment (smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors), make sure windows and doors all lock and door jambs are secure and the place is clean -- no previous construction debris, no previous tenant debris, no bugs/critters.Then there's the matter of the rent and security deposit.
