This report outlines the condition of the property at the commencement of the tenancy and is used when the tenant vacates to ensure that the property is left in the same condition, allowing for fair wear and tear.
Exit Condition: This is the last inspection carried out as soon as possible after the end of a tenancy, when the tenants have returned their keys. The Entry Condition Report is used at this inspection and each item is checked off to make certain that the property is in the same condition as when the tenant took possession. It is at this inspection that any items that need to be rectified by the tenant are identified.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][heading subtitle=”” size=”1″ heading_class=”heading” heading_style=”style-1″]What is a Routine Inspection?[/heading][vc_column_text]

A copy of the routine inspection report is forwarded to you after each inspection and should it be necessary, a member of the Property Management Team will contact you to discuss items noted on the report.
