Why Professional Rental Property Inspections Matter
Many landlords see inspections as an extra expense, but Ellingwood Pro views them as a proactive strategy that saves money and stress in the long run. Our certified inspectors use comprehensive checklists and deep construction knowledge to catch issues that might escape an untrained eye, giving you a complete picture of your rental’s condition.
Regular inspections by Ellingwood Pro help reduce repair costs, improve tenant satisfaction, and keep your property compliant with housing standards. By addressing maintenance concerns promptly, you also show tenants that you care about their comfort and safety, creating an environment where everyone feels valued.

Move-In Inspections
The move-in inspection sets the baseline for your rental relationship. Ellingwood Pro’s certified inspectors work with landlords and tenants to document:
- Floors, walls, windows, and ceilings
- Plumbing fixtures and appliances
- Safety features and electrical systems
Taking clear photos and videos during the move-in inspection protects tenants’ security deposits and ensures landlords know exactly how the unit looked at the start.
Move-Out Inspections
The final walkthrough determines if tenants will receive their full security deposit back. Ellingwood Pro’s move-out inspections clearly document:
- Wear and tear compared to the move-in inspection
- Any needed repairs or cleaning
- Compliance with lease agreements
| Move-Out Checklist Steps | Landlord & Tenant Responsibilities |
| Review the checklist | Understand expectations for cleanliness and condition |
| Document with photos/videos | Create a clear record of the property’s state |
| Schedule promptly | Avoid delays in security deposit returns |
With thorough documentation, Ellingwood Pro protects both landlords and tenants from disputes and ensures a fair, transparent process.
