During the end-of-lease inspection, landlords meticulously assess various aspects of their rental property to ensure it's returned in good condition. First and foremost, they check for any damages beyond normal wear and tear. This includes scuffs on walls, carpet stains, or broken fixtures, which tenants may be responsible for repairing. Landlords also confirm that all appliances and systems are in working order, such as plumbing, heating, and electrical systems. Additionally, they scrutinize cleanliness, looking for a well-maintained and spotless home. Finally, they ensure that all lease terms, such as rent payment and notice periods, have been adhered to. It's crucial for tenants to thoroughly clean and maintain the property to receive their security deposit back in full.
