Inspectify Rent Ready Inspection Guide

Purpose of Inspection: To ensure a property meets the required standards for new residents, confirming it is in an acceptable, safe and functional condition for occupancy.

  3. Safety Compliance: Ensuring that the property is safe, habitable, and meets basic safety standards.
  4. Cosmetic Details: Assess whether touch-ups, such as painting or replacing worn-out fixtures, are needed to make the property visually appealing.
