✨ Why Do a Quick Condition Check?

A Quick Condition Check is your go-to inspection for any time, not just move-in or move-out. It’s a simple way to keep an up-to-date record of your home’s condition and stay ahead of maintenance needs.

Quick Condition Checks help you:

  • 🔧 Catch small issues before they become big repairs

  • 🧾 Keep your property manager informed with accurate documentation

  • 📆 Maintain a consistent, timestamped history of your home

They’re perfect for seasonal updates, after maintenance work, or following weather events — anytime you want to make sure your space is in good shape.


🪄 When to Use It

Quick Condition Checks can be completed at any time during your lease.

Common times to complete one include:

  • After a storm or natural disaster to document the property’s condition

  • Following repairs or upgrades to confirm everything was completed

  • During routine maintenance to track ongoing issues

  • Every few months to keep your inspection history up-to-date

  • Common areas, kitchens, and bathrooms

  • Appliances, flooring, and walls

  • Any visible wear or maintenance concerns

💡 Pro Tip: Completing a Quick Condition Check takes just a few minutes but can save hours of confusion or disputes later.
