HOUSING COURT INSPECTIONS
Why would I need my rental property inspected if it is not required?
To document the condition of the property before, during or after a tenant moves into the unit.
How is the condition of the property documented?
This inspection will provide you with a dated computerized report with pictures of your property.
Do I need a lawyer in this process?
ABI advises all our clients to retain the services of a qualified real estate lawyer with expertise in landlord and tenant issues. One law firm that we have suggested as a possible contact in your selection process is Ward and Associates.
How does a report or inspector testimony help me in court?
