Comments on: An Interesting Note On Rental Inspections http://www.landlord-success.com/care-and-feeding-of-tenants/an-interesting-note-on-rental-inspections How to be a successful landlord Fri, 16 Dec 2011 08:32:15 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Bill http://www.landlord-success.com/care-and-feeding-of-tenants/an-interesting-note-on-rental-inspections/comment-page-1#comment-37593 Bill Tue, 03 Feb 2009 00:22:46 +0000 http://www.landlord-success.com/?p=390#comment-37593 I've talked to some other landlords who have had the same issue and they schedule the visit to change batteries in the smoke detectors and any furnace filters in the properties. If the tenant feels you are doing this to make their home safer and a better place to live they will be quite happy. On the other hand if they vehemently don't want you in there, the sooner you get in the better! Also some landlords include their inspection dates right in their leases now and point this out to potential tenants. Depending on where you live this may or may not be legal, but in our area it works. This really makes someone considering a grow op or meth lab reconsider your property as they do not want to be interrupted a couple times a year.
