Pre-Turn Inspections

Purpose (Why we do this):

Inspections give us all the necessary information we will need before beginning a turn. There are a variety of reasons to INSPECT, whether it’s illegal occupants or pets, reported damages, or a pending move-out that may need special attention.

Policy (what you're supposed to do):

Annual Inspections: Performed during Fall/Winter months. A good time to walk the apartments for water damages, fire sprinkler inspections, and any annual inspections required by the county/state.

Spring Break Inspections: Student Housing - INSPECT all apartments. Pay special attention to flooring replacements, counters, appliances, paint, furniture, and any other items that will be fixed during turn.

* Required key check/plan during walks

Procedure (HRA way!):

1. Notify all residents of planned inspection
2. Prepare keys for inspections
3. Utilize an inspection tool (Microsoft Forms, Spring Inspection Template, or system already in place)
4. Notate apartment conditions and plan your turn based on budget
5. Repair and charge for items that can be easily fixed prior to turn (doors, blinds, hardware, & ac repairs)
6. Place furniture order in accordance with your budget for turn
7. Place orders for turn materials in accordance to your budget for turn
