Regular property walkthroughs and inspections aren’t just about catching damage—they’re essential tools for protecting your investment, maintaining positive tenant relationships, and ensuring long-term success as a rental property owner.


At Flatmint, we treat inspections as a proactive service, not a reactive chore.


🔍 Move-In & Move-Out Walkthroughs

These detailed inspections document the property's condition at the start and end of each lease. They:

  • Provide a clear comparison for assessing damage vs. normal wear

  • Protect both owner and tenant from disputes

  • Help ensure proper use of security deposits

Our team uses thorough checklists, timestamped photos, and digital documentation to make the process simple and transparent.


🛠️ Mid-Lease Check-Ins

Periodic inspections during a tenant’s lease are just as important. These walkthroughs allow us to:

  • Catch minor issues before they turn into expensive repairs

  • Confirm that lease terms are being followed

  • Address safety concerns like mold, leaks, or faulty smoke detectors

They also open the door for communication with tenants and show them that we care about maintaining the property.


💼 Peace of Mind for Property Owners

With Flatmint managing your property, you never have to wonder how it’s being cared for. Our inspection process is:

  • Scheduled, documented, and communicated clearly

  • Consistent across properties

  • Designed to reduce surprises and support lease renewals

Whether you’re local or out of state, our detailed reports give you confidence that your rental is in good hands.
