Landlord Inspection Checklist: Every 6 Months
Use this checklist for ensuring tenants are maintaining your property properly, but it also ensures your investment is prepped and prepared for weather. It also helps you stay consistently aware of what your condition your property is.
If you’re conducting a bi-annual inspection, most landlords change filters, smoke detector batteries, and conduct a general inspection of the overall quality of the property. When inspecting an occupied property, you can check for the following:
Furnace filters
Smoke batteries
Fire extinguishers
Bugs/pests
Water leaks (sink, toilet, faucet, roof)
Water damage (walls, ceiling, floor)
Running toilets
Window/door seals
Any appliances
Overall cleanliness/condition of property
Treat property inspections as preventative care. Even if there are clauses in the lease that indicate tenants are responsible for tasks such as changing filters, some landlords find it’s better to simply do the job themselves. This way, they can ensure that it is done and that they are aware of the condition of their property.
