Each rental property is thoroughly inspected during vacant periods, and the condition of the property is well documented with photographs and extensive notes. These inspections are necessary when holding the tenant accountable, and also insure that maintenance issues are easily identified and completed. Routine drive-by inspections are conducted periodically to identify any potential issues. When obvious violations of the rental agreement are identified, a complete walk-through inspection is scheduled.  The frequency of exterior inspections increases during the summer months and during vacant periods.
An inspection is scheduled with each Tenant within the first four months of tenancy.  This arrangement is a condition of the Rental Agreement.  The purpose of this inspection is to identify and resolve any problems with the new Tenant and provides an opportunity to build a strong relationship with the Tenant.
It is the policy of RMA to contact several neighbors with the express purpose of keeping a close eye on the property. The neighbors appreciate our concern for the property and are eager to report any apparent issues. Our vendor staff is another valuable source of rental property inspection. These individuals are instructed to report immediately to RMA any known rental violations or potential problems.
