Rental Property Inspection Checklist Asheville, NC

Those rentals add the dreaded rental inspections. If you don’t know where to begin, don't worry. We’ve got you covered. Here is everything you need to check off on your rental inspection before a tenant moves in.

How to Use This Checklist

Landlords and tenants should go over each item on the checklist to establish a bare minimum expectation for the condition of each line item. As they go from room to room, the Landlord should be able to take detailed, meaningful notes regarding the cleanliness of each item on the checklist. Upon move-out, repair costs should be noted and tracked. 

After the landlord has completed the checklist, it is generally accepted that each party should sign off on the list, and copies are made for everyone's records. It’s not a bad idea to go ahead and specify in the lease agreement what precisely on the list the tenant is responsible for. 

Setting strong, clear expectations at the beginning of a lease term will make things easier for everyone at the end of the day.
