Question: For Landlords and Renters around inspection reports

[TeniBear]

Since we're in the process of moving, I'll fill this out for our current house and possibly come back at a later stage if there's anything different in our new one

For Renters
1) Do you rent privately or through a real estate agent?
Through real estate.

2) On your first day of tenancy, were you provided with a detailed inspection report of the property outlining the condition of the property?
Yes.

3) How often is the property inspection conducted of the property?
It's supposed to be every six months, but the landlord is ALWAYS in our driveway checking on the garden and clipping it The property manager has schedued them around every six months, but not exactly every six months.

4) Was the inspection report thorough and were you provided a copy of the report for your records?
Yes, but god knows where it's gone...

5) On exiting the property was a detailed inspection report conducted, comparing the current condition of the property to when you moved in.
I assume they're going to, they've sent us a nasty-looking letter to say as such.

6) Have you ever been involved in a dispute over the condition of a property.
Yes! Our landlord is crazy and thinks we should be out doing the gardens every spare second we get. Plus apparently not having the house completely spotless when I had a two-week old was "unacceptable"

7) Do you think a detailed inspection report should be conducted and provided to the tenant to prevent disputes?
Yes, but I think the tenants should be able to submit their own report a few weeks into living at a property. Sometimes you don't notice the faults in a place until you've lived there a short while.
