What Are Move-In and Move-Out Inspections, and Why Do They Matter?

Move-in and move-out inspections are detailed checks done before a tenant moves into your property and again when they leave.
Think of them as official “before and after” records. At Lesa, we walk through the space, noting the condition of everything, walls, fixtures, floors, windows, appliances, and even taps. We take clear photos, document existing wear and tear, and ensure both landlord and tenant are on the same page.

How They Save You from Disputes

Without a proper inspection, it becomes a matter of “he said, she said” when damages occur. These inspections serve as proof.
If a tenant leaves a broken window or damaged wall, you have written and visual documentation that clearly shows it wasn’t that way when they moved in.
This protects your income, your property, and your peace of mind.

It’s Not Just About Catching Damage….It’s About Building Trust

Inspections build accountability. Tenants know they’re responsible for keeping the place in good condition, and they feel secure knowing they won’t be unfairly blamed for pre-existing issues.
It sets a tone of professionalism and fairness, which often leads to better tenant relationships and longer stays.

At Lesa, We Handle It All For You

We don’t just show up with a pen and paper, we use a structured process that includes:

✅ A detailed walk-through before move-in
✅ Clear documentation with photos
✅ A final inspection after the tenant leaves
✅ Transparent communication with both parties

Whether you’re managing one unit or several, we help you avoid costly mistakes and make your job (or investment) much easier.

Final Thoughts: A Small Step That Saves Big

Many landlords underestimate how powerful inspections can be, until they skip them and pay for it.
Move-in and move-out inspections are the kind of detail that separates a struggling landlord from a thriving one.
And the best part? When you work with Lesa, you don’t have to think twice about it, we’ve got it covered.
