[quote=paramount]One last question: So my new tenant moves in, and finally provides me with an initial move in inspection report that is extremely detailed. For example:
1. The outside condenser unit has rust at the bottom of the unit.
2. A bathroom ceiling light fixture has a small amount of rust stain.
And on and on…
It’s as if they went through the house with a microscope.
It just doesn’t seem right, and I think something is up.
Anyone have a similar experience?[/quote]
Didn’t you walk through the house with a black light when your last tenant moved out? Don’t many landlords go through the home and make detailed lists in order to keep the tenant’s money? How is that any different?
These new tenants probably had a bad experience with another landlord and are now trying to protect themselves. You can’t really blame them.
Not trying to pick on you, Paramount, but what comes around goes around. Too many landlords want their tenants to pay for all of the maintenance and upkeep of their properties. That’s not the tenants’ responsiblity.
