Property Inspection
21 Step Walk-Around Report
- GENERAL LIGHTING - Are the building's common areas – lobby, street entrance, garage or parking area – well lit? (We may need to come back after dark.)
- STAIRWAYS & ELEVATORS - How close is the rental to either? Are they well lit and secure?
- LOCKS - Do they work? Any sign of tampering, like scratches or dents? Ask if the locks will be changed when you move in.
- CEILINGS & WALLS - Is there peeling paint? Signs of water damage or mold? Cracked plaster? Are they clean?
- CABINETS - Do kitchen and bathroom cabinet doors and drawers open easily? (We will check for signs of vermin or bugs).
- APPLIANCES - Is the refrigerator running and odor-free? Is the freezer defrosted? What is the condition of the stove, dishwasher & microwave?
- ELECTRICAL OUTLETS - Are they working? Are any hot to the touch or buzzing? Any char marks? We will check for similar issues in the circuit breaker box.
- SINKS, TUB & SHOWER - Is caulking tight and mildew-free? Do the faucets leak or drip? Does water drain quickly? Does the garbage disposal work?
- TOILETS - Do they flush completely and refill adequately? (Bonus points if it's clean!)
- LAUNDRY - Is there a washer/dryer or a common laundry? If the laundry is communal, check proximity, hours of operation and security
- AMENITIES - Is there a gym near by; shopping; convenience store; city transportation? How close are they to your unit? What are the hours of access?
- DETECTORS - Are smoke and carbon dioxide detectors in place inside every bedroom, outside each sleeping area and on every level of the home?
- FURNACES - Do the thermostat, heater, fans and/or AC work? Ask when things were serviced, and look for gaps around wall-mounted units.
- WINDOWS - Are the windows openable? Make sure none are painted shut or have cracked glass. Are there screens? Do any need safety bars?
- LIGHTING -INSIDE & OUTSIDE - Is there overhead lighting? Flip the switches – flickering lights could indicate a wiring problem.
- WATER - How's the temperature and clarity? If possible, turn on the shower and flush the toilet at the same time to check water pressure.
- COUNTERTOPS - Are there stains or cracks? If it's tile, we will check for missing grout and chips.
- FLOORS - Is the carpet frayed or dirty? Is the hardwood scratched or water stained? Is the tile chipped, cracked or uneven?
- CLOSETS - Is there enough storage for clothes and shoes? Are there entry or utility closets? Does the building have space for bikes and gear?
- DOORS - Do all the doors open and shut easily?
- ENTRANCES - If a condo or multi family unit, are any common entries locked? What access controls are in place: doorbell, buzzer, security camera, call phone?
