For landlords

Rental property inspection in Southwest Florida

A photographic record you can rely on later. Condition documentation between tenants, before a purchase with a tenant in place, or on a schedule so problems surface before they become claims.

What it is

Documentation is the point

Most landlord disputes come down to the same question: what condition was it in before? Without a dated, photographed record, that question becomes one party’s memory against the other’s, and memory tends to favour whoever is more motivated.

A rental inspection produces that record. Timestamped, photographed, room by room, from a licensed third party with no stake in the outcome. That last part matters — your own photographs are useful, but a neutral inspection report carries different weight.

The other use is earlier warning. A slow leak under a rental sink is not something a tenant necessarily reports, and it is exactly the kind of thing that becomes a five-figure problem in a Florida house. Catching it on a periodic inspection is considerably cheaper than catching it at move-out.

Coverage

What's covered

What the inspection actually documents.

When landlords book

  • Between tenancies, before a new lease starts
  • Before buying a property with a tenant in place
  • Annually, as a condition and maintenance check
  • After a tenant reports a problem
  • Before a lease renewal
  • Ahead of any dispute you can see coming

What the record covers

  • Room-by-room photographic condition
  • Systems condition — electrical, plumbing, HVAC
  • Water heater and appliance condition and age
  • Moisture findings and any active leaks
  • Exterior, roof and drainage
  • Safety items — smoke alarms, egress, handrails
Process

How it runs

Start to finish.

  1. Call with the address and timing

    Tell us whether it is occupied, vacant or mid-turnover. Occupied properties need tenant notice, which shapes the schedule.

  2. Notice and access

    Florida has notice requirements for entering an occupied rental. Arrange that with your tenant before we schedule — check your lease and the statute for what applies.

  3. On site

    Room by room with photographs throughout, then systems and exterior.

  4. Report same day or next day

    A dated photographic record, with any active problems called out separately from general condition.

  5. Keep it filed

    The value of these compounds. A property with three years of dated inspection records is a much easier property to defend a position on.

Questions

Common questions

You can and you should. A licensed third-party report carries different weight in a dispute, and it also catches things a walkthrough does not — moisture behind a cabinet, a water heater past its life, a breaker that has been double-tapped.

Yes, with proper notice. Florida sets notice requirements for landlord entry — check your lease and the statute, arrange it with the tenant, and we will work around their schedule.

Annually is a reasonable baseline, plus at every turnover. More often if the property is older or if you have had problems.

Yes. The move-in report is what makes the move-out report useful, so the pair is worth more than either alone.

Yes, and it is worth doing. You are buying the condition as well as the income, and an occupied property is harder to assess on a showing.
