Thinks s/he gets paid by the post
Senator, how often do you inspect your rentals while they are occupied?
I do not inspect while they are occupied. If I have a maintenance issue, I generally look around to see how things are being kept up. When I show an apartment for new tenants, it is sort of an inspection too. I have done smoke detector inspections, and toilet leak inspections.
If I had section 8 properties, I would have quarterly inspections and fix what was broken right away. I would then bill the tenants and expect to be pain within 60 days, or I would evict over unpaid rent. My leases say out standing balances get paid first, then rent.
Any tenant that is worried about an inspection is suspect. My Section 8 tenants were the worst, and I no longer rent to that caliber of tenant anymore. There is a reason why people need these programs permanently, and I am not willing to put up with their issues.
