Move-In Inspections
September 6, 2026

A lot of you will be moving into your new place in the next few days and some of you may have already moved in. We can’t stress the importance of doing a move in inspection because any damages that are identified when you move out, may prevent you from getting your damage deposit back or could lead to a bad referral. If you can hire someone to do a professional inspection, then we think you should. However, if this is not an option for you, we’ve compiled a short list of the top ten items we think you should inspect.

Normal Wear and Tear Versus Damage
March 8, 2026

Some people may wonder what the difference between wear and tear and damage is. Damage is a change in the property caused by something the tenant did, for example, if you spilled something, made a hole in the wall or damaged the flooring or carpets. Wear and tear is how the condition and state of a place changes over time just as things age and are used, for example, when paint fades, pipes may deteriorate or electrical components wear out. Tenants are responsible for damage while landlords are responsible for wear and tear. In this week’s blog we wanted to over some things tenants can do to prevent damage to the property.
