5 Easy Steps for Property Inspections in Atlanta Residential Property Management

Have you ever conducted a walk-through of your vacant property only to find out your previous tenants trashed the place? Holes in the walls, leaking pipes that went unreported, damaged window screens, mildew in the bathtubs, cockroach infestations, heavily stained carpet…it can be an overwhelming and upsetting feeling. Atlanta residential property management company, Specialized Property Management Atlanta, wants to prevent this as you engage in the residential rental property game.

Regular Property Inspections

With years of experience in the property management industry, we’ve come to find that regular walk-throughs and checks on the property–not just on move-out and move-in–can save property owners from a lot of headache upon the turnover process. With Specialized Property Management Atlanta, you can be sure your property is in good hands. We conduct quarterly and semi-annual property inspections to catch maintenance and other concerns before they become big problems. We deliver a written Entry Notice form that communicates our inspection schedule to tenants.

Communicate Expectations

It’s crucial that our renters know what is expected of them at the time their lease agreement is signed. Specialized Property Management Atlanta clearly communicates proper care and expectations of our renters to ensure your property is respected. If your current Atlanta residential property management company isn’t able to clearly communicate proper care and expectations to your renters, give Specialized Property Management Atlanta a call today.

A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words

Upon both move-in and move-out, we take photos of the property to protect you from liability. We document through pictures and writing that your property was adequately cleaned and maintained during the turnover process and that it was in an acceptable condition to be rented. We feel it is also important to take photos after residents have vacated to document any damage to the property. This protects homeowners from disputes when disbursing the security deposit.

Regular Maintenance by Atlanta Residential Property Management

Upon entry, we inspect all appliances, water heaters, furnaces, air conditioners, plumbing, electrical, and any other mechanical systems. If any of these items need repair, we schedule proper vendors or maintenance crews as soon as possible. We also ensure your renters comply with their lease agreement. We check for proper occupancy numbers and pets.
