Services to

to Landlords

At The Rental Inspector, we understand that as a landlord, your property is a valuable asset. We are here to make your property rental process smooth, transparent, and hassle-free. Our unbiased, professional rental inspections help ensure that you are compliant with The Rental Housing Act and assist in resolving any issues that may arise during a lease.

Here are the comprehensive services we offer to landlords:

Pre-Ingoing Inspections: Ensure Your Property is Ready for Tenants

Allowing an experienced rental inspector to conduct a pre-ingoing inspection before you let out your property can save you significant time, money, and headaches in the long run.

Why it’s important: If a property is not inspected before a tenant moves in, it is assumed to be in good condition. By having a professional, unbiased inspection, you can identify any pre-existing defects and address them before the tenant occupies the property. This prevents disputes later about the property’s condition.
What we do: We conduct a thorough inspection, room by room, including outbuildings and gardens, documenting any defects, wear and tear, or required maintenance. This helps you as the landlord ensure your property is in the best possible condition before tenants take residence.

Regular Inspections & Maintenance Management

Managing your property and maintaining it in good condition is essential to ensuring that your tenants are happy and your investment is protected.

Quarterly Inspections: We recommend conducting quarterly interim inspections to stay on top of any issues that might arise during the lease. Regular inspections help you track the property’s condition and address problems before they escalate.
Maintenance Issues: If issues arise during a tenant’s stay, our maintenance management system allows tenants to submit an online maintenance ticket, detailing the issue. This keeps communication open and ensures the problem is addressed promptly and professionally.

Managing Tenant Damages & Liabilities

Understanding who is responsible for damages and repairs can be tricky, but it’s crucial to avoid unnecessary conflicts.

Liability for Damages: Repairs to the structure of the home (such as fixing rising damp, roof repairs, or replacing a burst geyser) are the landlord’s responsibility. However, if a tenant’s negligence causes damages—such as mould from insufficient ventilation in the bathroom—that would be the tenant’s responsibility. Our comprehensive inspection reports objectively assess the condition of the property, helping you determine liability accurately.
Protect Your Deposit: Our inspection reports, which comply with The Rental Housing Act, are essential tools that can be used in case of arbitration or disputes with tenants at the Rental Housing Tribunal.

Tenant Screening & Background Checks

Worried about renting to tenants who may not pay or cause damage to your property? Proper tenant screening is essential.

Comprehensive Screening: We work with TPN services to conduct thorough reference and background checks on prospective tenants. This simple check helps you identify potential risks, ensuring that you rent to reliable tenants who will treat your property with care.

Pre-Outgoing Inspections: Protect Your Property at the End of a Lease

A pre-outgoing inspection is required by law before a tenant vacates the property to document any damages.

End of Lease Inspections: Conducted no later than three days before the end of the lease, this inspection ensures both parties are aware of the property’s condition and any damage that has occurred during the tenancy. This allows tenants time to address the issues before the lease ends and helps landlords determine if the rental deposit is sufficient to cover repairs.
Avoiding Unnecessary Disputes: By documenting the condition of the property in detail with photographs and a comprehensive report, you reduce the risk of disputes when tenants vacate.

Renting Out Your Property Independently? We’ve Got You Covered!

Whether you are managing your property on your own or through an agent, The Rental Inspector provides a full range of inspection services to ensure everything runs smoothly.

Get Your Property “Rent Ready”: Our pre-ingoing inspection reports help you identify any issues with the property before tenants move in. This proactive approach can save you money in the long term by allowing you to address defects before renting out your property.

Managing Long-Term Tenants and Excessive Damages

If you have a tenant who has been living in your property for a long time and has caused more damage than the original deposit can cover, our regular inspections can help you stay on top of maintenance and damages.

Exceeding Deposit: If a tenant’s damage exceeds the original deposit, we help you document the condition of the property over time, allowing you to properly assess the situation and determine if additional compensation is required.

Comprehensive, Unbiased Inspection Reports for All Landlords

As a landlord, it’s essential to have clear, objective, and comprehensive reports to protect your property and ensure compliance with all relevant legislation.

Detailed Reports: Our inspections provide clear, detailed reports, including photographs, findings, and any recommendations for repairs or maintenance.
Professional Documentation: These reports are crucial for legal purposes, and can be used in arbitration should any disputes arise with tenants.

Renting Out Your Property Independently?

If you’re managing your property independently, we offer the same comprehensive inspection reports to ensure you remain compliant with the Rental Housing Act and avoid disputes with tenants.
