Rental Inspection
Whether you are a renter, landlord, management company, investor or even a municipality a rental inspection is for you. The meaning or purpose behind the inspection may be different but the inspection is very similar. First, this inspection is a means of having a third party with clean eyes looking at everything. Second, we look for minimum acceptable safety and maintenance standards set by the International Code Council (ICC), which compile current safety standards from each industry and decide what a minimum acceptable level is, and it updated every three years. Third, it is to protect the interest in the unit or property that it has been maintained and that upkeep has been done. Lastly it is to create a list of items that will need to be addressed while or between the time the unit(s) are occupied.
As a renter you select a unit that fits your needs and you pay a security deposit, and when you move out the assumption is that your deposit will come back to you. When you moved in did you take do a walk through with the landlord and go over a checklist of the property. Where pictures taken to document existing damage or maintenance issues that you would like to see the landlord or management company fix. By the time you moved out were they fixed, are you now being blamed for the broken item in order to keep a portion or all of you deposit. How are you able to prove that the conditions were the way you say they were before or after. Even if you did take pictures how will you prove that this was the way the condition was at the time of move in or that it never was addressed the entire time. This is were we come in.
A move-in inspection does just that. But when you are ready to move out if you failed to document the condition of the unit properly your deposit may not be returned in-order to repair defects that are assumed created by you. This is a time sensitive issue once you have already moved in it is very hard to prove you were not the cause of damage.
A Move-out inspection is at the other end of the spectrum that after you have moved out your items and feel it is ready to hand the keys back this inspection helps you establish the condition post move but pre final walk through to verify no items were not addressed that as the renter you may have done but become blind to and can be corrected prior to handing over the keys to prove you have left the property in as good of a condition as you received it. This also allows us to document the entirety of the unit so if damage is done blame can not be placed on you.
Our move-in/out inspection gives you a side by side report to document if a defect was never repaired during your rental period or if the defect was not present at the time of leaving the unit. Your report can be used as proof of the pre-existing condition. But if taken to court you can use Tri ID to testify with you at court as a independant third party to give witness that the condition was and is not changed. And when you look for your first home you are a repeat client which means that you get a discount when you're ready to look and get that first home.
As a landlord, management company or investor you can use our inspection to verify your property has no new safety or maintenance conditions that need to be addressed, either before or after each tenet. Our report can be used to prioritize repairs that are found between tenants in order that you can preserve your investment value and extend the life of the property. Most importantly as a third party to prove conditions the day of move out document handoff and condition in the event of needing to prove in court damage.
Municipalities use us to help inspect and enforce the ICC (International Code Councils) IPMC (International Property Management Codes) standards in-order to hold landlords/investors to a minimum safety standards that renters should expect to live in. These standards are expectable minimum standards that landlords must maintain for habitability and to receive a certificate of occupancy.
