What goes wrong
- The smoke detector was fine last time; the battery is not.
- The window lock in the second bedroom is the same one that failed in 2024.
- A fail means thirty days and another appointment, and the tenant's rent is held.
What to do now
- 1
Walk the unit now with the HQS pre-inspection template — it mirrors the performance areas, one item each.
- 2
Anything Poor becomes a work order to your handyman tonight, with the photo — emailed with a link they open on their phone.
- 3
Re-walk before 9 a.m. with the re-inspection template so the report shows the fix.
- 4
Hang the door hanger so the tenant can report what you cannot see between visits.
What they end up holding
You get a dated record of the unit passing your own walk the night before, and the inspector gets a unit that passes.
