Now Available: Lease start and end date triggers and recurring inspections!

Manually creating inspections has been the norm, but there’s a better way to manage move-ins and move-outs across your entire portfolio that saves time and simplifies your workflow.

🗓️ Meet Sarah, a property manager who now saves hours each week by letting RentCheck automatically schedule inspections for new residents when they move in and for departing residents when they move out. With just a few clicks, her inspection schedule is set up and ready to go without any manual follow-up.

✅ Or James, who uses RentCheck’s inspection automation to schedule custom move-in inspections across his entire portfolio, ensuring that nothing falls through the cracks and no unit is left uninspected. His automation even assigns inspections to specific teammates, making the entire process seamless.

Automation isn’t just a feature - it’s a game-changer for property managers like you.

Automation lets you set it and forget it.


Getting started is simple:

  • Select which units you want to be included, whether it’s all units or select units in your portfolio

  • Select the type of inspection you want to automate (e.g., move-in, move-out).

  • Decide when the inspection should be created - by specifying the number of days before or after a move-in or move-out date.

  • Decide when the inspection is due - by specifying the number of days after the inspection has been created.

  • Choose who the inspection should be assigned to - whether it’s a teammate, a resident, or someone else.

Head to Account > Inspection Automation to get started! You can also find detailed instructions here.

Once you’ve set it live, enjoy peace of mind knowing that crucial move-in and move-out inspections are being created and assigned automatically.

Automate Recurring Inspections

Need inspections to repeat automatically on a schedule? RentCheck’s Repeat feature allows you to automate recurring inspections across your portfolio without manually recreating them each time.

You can configure automations to repeat:

  • Monthly

  • Quarterly

  • Semi-annually

  • Annually

  • Or on a custom schedule

This is great for:

  • Routine property checks

  • Air filter inspections

  • Seasonal inspections

  • Mid-lease inspections

  • Preventative maintenance workflows

To configure recurring inspections:

  1. Go to Account > Inspection Automation

  2. Open an existing automation or create a new one

  3. Locate the Will this inspection repeat? section

  4. Choose your repeat schedule

  5. Save your changes

Once enabled, RentCheck will continue creating inspections automatically based on your selected repeat interval.

Note: You must be on a RentCheck Professional or Accelerate plan to use inspection automation.
