This is a great list to distribute to tenants! I'm going to pass it on to my investor/clients for their use. Thanks.
Enjoy * it is a good guide to use with check-in and check-out inspections
I am printing too to carry on my final walks. Do you have the tenant with you on final walk thrus?
I offer to notify residents when the inspection will be and I stress that it is NOT for me to tell them how much $$$ they will get back. I use any opportunity to question residents about the property and any issues that will be helpful for next residents * I use it as an exit-interview
You may be present at the time we perform the check out inspection of the property; however, you must so advise us of your desire to be present by e-mail and we will notify you by e-mail of the date and time range * either 10AM-12Noon or 2PM-4PM we have scheduled the inspection. If you wish to be present at our check out inspection, the utilities should remain on for an additional 3 days in order to accommodate your request. We will schedule the property inspection ONLY AFTER we receive the property keys. At the check out inspection you will not be told of any damages or assessments to your security deposit nor will you be allowed to correct any deficiencies. Under Virginia law, we have 45 days to itemize and return your security deposit as we may determine additional charges and/or damages during this period.
