We want our landlords to conduct successful rental inspections, so we have compiled a comprehensive checklist:
• Do all the lights work?
• Check for loose cables on light fittings
• Look at the bottom of walls for any rising damp
• Check walls for large cracks
• Check for creaks on floor-boards
• Check to see if any floor-boards have started to come up at the edges
• Check all taps for condition and to see if they are dripping
• Check the oven for built-up grease
• Check tiles, sinks, mirrors, showers ,bathtubs and toilets for signs of mould and dirt
• Check between the hinges of cupboards and joins of shelves for food residue and grime
• Check handles and locks on windows and doors and sliding doors
• Check garage doors and external gates for operability
• Upload your completed checklist and any photos and videos onto the RealRenta platform to create part of your tenancy file
