| Rental Inspection Service
for
Renters and Landlords
Move In
Vs.
Move Out Condition
HomeFront Inspection is offering inspections for Renters, Landlords and
Property Management Companies.
Being once a renter and now a landlord I have found that a Pre-Lease
Inspection and a Post-Lease Inspection are vary valuable in settling disputes that commonly
arise between Renter and Landlord.
With a detailed report with pictures, videos and
comments of the Before and After condition of the property, you will have the
documentation needed to help win your case.
This is how it works:
- You have a Pre-Lease inspection conducted that will document the condition
just prior to moving in.
- At the end of the lease you have another inspection that
documents the condition of the property after the move out.
- You compare the 2 reports. You can easily find any discrepancy.
- This will give you the documentation you need to settle
most disputes that involve the return of your earnest money.
The Benefits:
- An unbiased, objective Third Party report will give you leverage.
- A clear Documentation and comparison of the Before and After condition.
- Helps settle most disputes between parties involved.
What is Inspected
Even though a Rental inspection is similar to a real estate inspection it is
not to be confused with a detailed real estate home inspection.
Even though a Rental
inspection is also a Visual - Non-Invasive examination of the building, it falls short of
giving advise and recommendations of maintenance, structure and mechanical defects that a
real estate home inspection would entail. (If you need this type of detail, it is
recommended to ask us about our real estate home inspection.)
Rather, it puts the focus on
those areas that are usually damaged during the term of a lease.
