What is a RentCheck Exterior Inspection?

A RentCheck Exterior Inspection is a detailed evaluation of your property’s outside areas, including the building exterior, landscaping, parking areas, and outdoor amenities. These inspections help property managers and owners proactively maintain curb appeal, protect the property’s structure, and ensure all outdoor spaces remain safe, functional, and well-kept.

Exterior Inspections are designed to catch small issues before they turn into costly repairs and to help teams stay compliant with local safety and maintenance standards.

What’s Included

During an exterior inspection, your team or assigned resident can document the condition of:

  • Building structure: siding, paint, roofing, gutters, downspouts, and foundation

  • Lighting and safety features: exterior lights, signage, handrails, and walkways

  • Landscaping and grounds: lawns, trees, shrubs, fencing, and drainage

  • Parking and driveways: surface condition, markings, accessibility, and cleanliness

  • Amenities: patios, pools, playgrounds, mail areas, and shared outdoor facilities

Why Exterior Inspections Matter

  • Prevent costly damage by identifying cracks, leaks, or structural wear early

  • Enhance curb appeal to attract and retain residents

  • Ensure safety and compliance by maintaining clear walkways, working lights, and secure railings

  • Document property condition with time-stamped photos and notes for transparency and recordkeeping

Tip for Best Results

Schedule exterior inspections seasonally or after major weather events to stay ahead of potential maintenance concerns.
