Our professional team of Sioux Falls property managers conducts semi-annual inspections with the help of a qualified home inspector. This person has been trained to notice issues that have potential to escalate in the near future. When you take the time to care about your property by conducting regular inspections, your tenants will do the same.

Inspections should happen on a regular schedule. The first on should happen with the new tenant during the week of move in. Together, document existing damage to the home, taking pictures as you go, and write down any needed maintenance to be performed.

After tenant has moved in, inspections should happen at least semi-annually for the duration of the tenants stay. This is where Sioux Falls property managers ensure lease compliance, check for new damage to the home, and check for any needed maintenance.

Finally, when the tenant is moving out, both tenant and property manager should take a final walk through the home and note the condition it is being left in. Supporting photographs should be taken as evidence, and any and all notes are uploaded to the owners online portal as a means to keep transparency in our communication.

The reasons behind regular property inspections is three fold:

1. Protect your property by being proactive about maintenance issues
2. Keep tenants happy (and hopefully extend the length of their stay)
3. Protect yourself from costly repairs, excess damage to the property, and any health hazard issues that could turn into legal issues.
