Home Inspection for rental?

Daniella Spears
Posted

I have a long term tenant and I have a feeling they are not keeping the home in the best conditions.  Last time I was there, there was spegitti sauce on ceiling, the walls were covered in crayons.  I am planning on notifying them I will be doing an inspection at the end of the month.  My question is what if I document the damage is more than the 1600 deposit what recourse do I have?  There lease ends in October.   Also, if there is a property management check list I would appreciate it!  Thanks BP fam!

Document everything with pics, preferably a video with them in it! They can't deny a video they are in.

Check your lease and local statutes to see if you can start eviction proceedings for excessive damages. 

Highly recommend you hire an experienced eviction attorney (not a jack-of-all trades one).
