Tenants moved into the house that got an inspection score of 99.25 with no interior violations. They sent the landlord a list of things to be corrected before they physically moved in--a lot more things than the city inspector noted. For example, they didn't like one of the ceiling fans wobbling. So the landlord had to make several repairs and adjustments.
Any professional or sensible landlord uses a walk-through sheet for move-in. This is mainly to avoid a dispute over the deduction from the security deposit at the time of move-out, but we make repairs, where necessary, according to the sheet. Our goal is to keep tenants happy so they'll stay as long as possible.
Below is an example of a walk-through sheet. (This particular form is for TAA members.) Some tenants even write on the back of the sheet--2-3 pages full of things they think are wrong! They are a lot more thorough than city inspectors. So what is the point of the city duplicating the already-established procedure with taxpayers' money?
