Compliance with brokerage laws is pretty important, not just blowing smoke at you. 

Lol especially when you have a smoking deal.

They look at the appliances, roof, condition of walls, underneath all sinks for leaks, fire extinguisher in order, smoke detectors operational and working, screens on windows, locks on windows and sliders, A/C filter changed.

Smoking?

You also need to know if there is alternative sites the tenant could move to or are they just blowing smoke.

The tenant says the black on the walls is from the fireplace flue not being closed causing smoke to get on everything.

In the lease it is a smoke free building.

It's basically a self inspection sheet verifying the basics like smoke detectors, etc., I fill it out and send back to them with a $94 check for each of my rentals in that city.
