Inspections that hold up when it matters.
Condition reports are only useful if they're detailed, dated and signed. Ours are room-by-room, with photos — so when a tenancy ends, there's no argument about what was there before.
Everything in inspections.
Why inspections are worth the visit
Most expensive problems in rentals are slow ones: a leak behind a vanity, a failing window seal, a blocked downspout pushing water toward the foundation. A routine inspection catches them while they're small. It also tells you how the tenancy is going — and gives a good tenant a chance to raise things they hadn't bothered to report.
Done properly, under Ontario rules
Landlords may enter a rental unit for inspections with at least 24 hours' written notice, between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. We give that notice correctly, keep visits respectful and efficient, and focus on the condition of the property — not on how tenants choose to live.
What's in a report
- Dated photos of every room, plus close-ups of anything notable
- Condition notes on walls, floors, fixtures, appliances and windows
- Smoke and carbon monoxide alarm tests
- Exterior notes: roof line, gutters, grading, walkways
- Recommended repairs with an estimated priority
How often do you inspect?
At move-in and move-out, plus routine inspections during the tenancy at a frequency set out in your management agreement — and additional visits whenever something needs checking.
Do tenants have to let you in?
Yes, when entry is for a permitted reason such as an inspection and proper written notice of at least 24 hours is given. Entry must be between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m.
Can you inspect a property you don't manage?
Yes — we offer standalone inspections and condition reports, for example before you buy, or when you're preparing to hand a property over to management.
