Here where I work the Inspections are to make sure we’re keeping the place up properly, not to ding residents.
Of course, if we do find hoarders that’s a problem. But otherwise we’re looking for mold, asbestos, lead-based paint, pests, etc.
We have enough of our own problems without looking for those caused by the residents.
I make a list of the items I see that are questionable on the first walk-through, before I sign the contract. Normally, it’s 30 days to turn in what needs to be seen to. I’m good at finding those!
Some apartments (like this one) are worse than others, but most don’t take as long to see to. “Unreliable maintenance men” is the excuse here.
