Hi All, Big trucks with large fans & towels & dehumidifiers been seen at the rental, and tenant claims they hired carpet cleaners and staff to wash/clean all carpet&furniture. Tenant is also not sharing the workorder/receipts so far to shed light on the scope of work that took place.
From a landlord perspective, I obviously would want to know if there's been potential water damage that took placed. Is the tenant required by law to share receipts of any work done on the house - if asked?

Would appreciate any feedback.
Thanks,
I assume you have the right to give 24 hour notice and do an inspection of the property. Check your lease and state/county laws. Not to mention, you could have used your home owner's insurance policy to cover it if something like a pipe burst.
Do an inspection. If they aren't asking you to pay for whatever, they don't have to give you the receipts. They should however let you know what happened.
Thanks all for the feedback. Actually, I have done an inspection, however, it is after the fact, and with everything already seeming dry. While anything is possible and a carpet cleaning job could potentially take multiple days to complete and involve large fan/towel/dehumidifiers, I would suspect it would be less probable it was just a routine carpet cleaning. so thinking that my only clue as to what transpired would be what is scoped out in the workorder of the completed job.
