Regular inspections have various benefits, including giving you an opportunity to learn about your property and tenants, uncovering unauthorized residents and uncovering major maintenance issues. What Should Your Maintenance Schedule Be? Your property manager should inspect your rental property on a regular basis, including: · Before a tenant moves in · After a tenant moves out · Before a lease renewal · Six months after renting to a new tenant The property should also be inspected whenever there’s a major concern or emergency repairs are needed. For example, if a tenant makes excessive maintenance requests or is abnormally late on rental payments.
