Move-In Inspection

Moving into a new home is an exciting new adventure. Whether it’s an apartment, condo, or single-family home, it’s important to have it inspected when moving in to protect you as a renter. In most cases, your rental company will have you complete a move-in assessment, where you have the opportunity to raise any areas of concern with the home that need to be addressed; however, most renters don’t know what to look for, and this can cause them to move into a home laden with issues or lose their deposit upon moving out.

Why Get a Move-In Inspection with WIN?

As a renter, you are likely unaware of the history of the home. You likely don’t know if the fireplace is in working order, where the electrical panels are, if the smoke detectors are present and functional, or any history of health or safety hazards. With WIN, you get an experienced professional to help you assess the current condition of the home you are moving into, so you can ensure you are protecting not only your health and safety, but also your future. Our trained inspectors are here to help you make the best of your rental situation, ensuring that everything is functioning properly, working efficiently, and is in working condition.

Benefits of Move-In Inspection

Protect Your Deposit: By ensuring that all issues are identified upfront during move-in, you can retain more of your deposit upon moving out.
Be an Informed Renter: Gain valuable insights into your home to help you be more equipped for life in your rental.
