While a landlord can conduct their own house inspections on home rentals, it is recommended that a professional home inspector be hired to inspect the premises of home rentals and supply home inspection reports that will be credible documentation for interested renters.
Home rentals and property management companies should include home inspections as part of the process of marketing and renting a property to ensure that the home is in excellent condition for renters. Renters can also use this process to document the condition before and after move out. Although cosmetic items such as floor coverings are not included, any documentation can be helpful!
