We inspect your rentals -
so you don’t have to.

Regular inspections help ensure the property is maintained properly, which can prevent small issues from becoming costly repairs and thus preserving or even increasing the property's value.

Examples

• Landscaping Upkeep: Rental Exams noted overgrown landscaping that was affecting the property's curb appeal and potentially its foundation. The landlord addressed this by scheduling regular yard maintenance, enhancing the property’s appearance and preserving its market value.

• Paint and Aesthetic Maintenance: Rental Exams found that the exterior paint was peeling and interior walls showed significant wear. The landlord had the property repainted, which refreshed the look and sustained the property's aesthetic value.

Inspections ensure tenants comply with the lease terms, such as restrictions on modifications or prohibitions on pets, helping landlords manage their properties more effectively.

Examples

• Unauthorized Pets: Rental Exams inspectors discovered an unauthorized pet during an inspection, allowing the landlord to address the lease violation quickly and enforce pet policies.

• Subletting Violations: An inspection revealed that a tenant had sublet the unit without permission, enabling the landlord to intervene and enforce lease terms regarding subletting.

Rental Exams identifies potential issues early, saving you significant repair costs and minimizing rental downtime, ensuring continuous tenant satisfaction.

Example

• Early Leak Detection: During a routine inspection, Rental Exams identified early signs of water damage and a small leak under a bathroom sink. This early detection allowed the landlord to repair the leak before it led to major water damage, preventing costly repairs and preserving the property's structural integrity.

Detailed inspection reports with photographic evidence can be invaluable in resolving disputes with tenants over property conditions and deposit deductions.

Examples

• Lease Violation Disputes: During an inspection, Rental Exams captured evidence of unauthorized alterations made by the tenant. The landlord used these photos in negotiations to ensure the property was restored to its original condition or to compensate for the unauthorized changes.

• Wear and Tear vs. Damage: After tenants vacated, there was a disagreement over what constituted normal wear and tear versus actual damage. Inspection reports and photographs from Rental Exams provided clear evidence, helping to mediate the dispute fairly between the landlord and the former tenants.
