The owner is consulted before any interim inspection is carried out.
We carry out interim inspections in the following circumstances:
- on an ad hoc basis at the owners request
- if there are excess maintenance issues reported
- if there are complaints from the neighbours or the management company
We would caution against doing to many inspections as they can present the tenants with a forum for frivolous
requests which then have to be considered.
When carrying out inspections, it is important to consider the following:
- the tenants right to peaceful and exclusive occupation during their tenancy, which extends to the
cleanliness of a property
-
normal wear and tear: the property will not be in the same condition from when the tenants moved in and this
is generally not as a result of the tenant's negligence
