The first step in our annual rental property inspections is to conduct a detailed exterior inspection of the property. This includes checking for any signs of damage such as cracks in the foundation, missing roof tiles, or overgrown landscaping. We also inspect the condition of the driveway, walkways, and any outdoor structures such as sheds or fences. By identifying and addressing any issues with the exterior of the property, we can prevent further damage and ensure a safe environment for tenants.
Once we have completed the exterior inspection, we move on to conducting a thorough interior inspection of the rental property. This includes checking for any signs of water damage, mold, or pest infestations. We also inspect all appliances, plumbing fixtures, and electrical systems to ensure they are functioning properly. By identifying any maintenance issues early on, we can address them promptly and avoid costly repairs down the line.
One of the most important aspects of our annual rental property inspections is checking the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system. Proper maintenance of the HVAC system is essential for providing a comfortable living environment for tenants and preventing costly repairs. During our inspections, we check filters, ductwork, and overall system performance to ensure everything is working efficiently.
The safety of tenants is our top priority at SDMG Property Management. That’s why we conduct a thorough safety inspection during our annual rental property inspections. This includes checking smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, fire extinguishers, and other safety equipment to ensure they are in working order. We also inspect staircases, railings, and other potential hazards to prevent accidents and injuries.
After completing our annual rental property inspections, we provide homeowners with detailed documentation and reporting on the condition of their property. This includes photos of any issues found during the inspection as well as recommendations for maintenance or repairs. By keeping homeowners informed about the status of their rental property, we help them make informed decisions about maintaining their investment.
