Why Should I Inspect My Rental Property?

 An annual inspection will protect you and your resident from safety and financial liabilities.  Since some residents remove smoke alarm batteries, this is a chance to verify that the alarm(s) is both working properly and that it is placed in the proper location(s).  Also, many residents do not faithfully change their air conditioner and heater filters.  The annual inspection will reveal this and give you a chance to change the filter before your AC unit gets damaged. 

The annual inspection will also allow you a chance to catch any lease violations and deferred maintenance.  Are their any pets at the property that you do not know about for example.  Be sure to check for caulking and any leaks under sinks or roof leaks.

Some tenants have been known to turn the house they rent into a drug growing or manufacturing operation.  Getting inside once a year will curtail the temtation.
Be wise, many jurisdictions will only allow the landlord to enter the property for a limited number of reasons.  Annual maintenance that the landlord wants to perform will normally qualify.
