Tenant Inspections Best Practices?

[Melissa B.]

We're learning the ropes of being landlords. We know you will need to give tenants the legal amount of time in your state and we're putting something in the rental agreement. How often do you conduct inspections? How do you conduct inspections to ensure it's not being trashed? What happens if you witness a violation while making maintenance repairs? What do you do when there is a violation or it's clear it's being trashed?

Thank you.
