Back in March of this year, a client that I had contracted with me to perform a buyer's inspection, called to request a walk through inspection of the rental townhome he was moving from. I did a very brief photo walk through, did not test any appliances. The home was in good condition. Two weeks ago, I received a call from an attorney, the townhome owner is suing the tennant (my client) for apparent damages and missing appliances! I have to appear in court this Friday to testify regarding the condition of the home during my inspection. I am being paid for my time, but it really is not worth the trouble for myself. So, beware, I will never do another rental walk through again.

Here's how I handle them. I purposely don't spend much time with them.
Here's why: As an Ohio certified mold tester, I get many calls from renters who are suffering from allergies and ailments. You will get long stories, in which I sympathize with them. Unfortunately, after you get the price quote out, you will hear a long pause. I discount my rates for renters but yet, still the long pause. In a nutshell, unless mom or dad are paying (usually they will call if they are) you are inspecting up the wrong tree. |
