Frequently asked questions
I completed an inspection but my property manager cannot see it...
If there are any discrepancies between the inspection that you have completed and the inspection your property manager has on file, please reach out to our support team! We will be able to get this sorted for you.
Can I save my inspection and come back to it later?
Absolutely! If you need to take a break from completing your inspection, simply close the RentCheck app and attend to any other tasks you have.
No need to worry about closing the app, everything will be just as you left it. Any photos you've taken during the inspection will be automatically saved, along with your progress. When you're ready to continue, just open the app again.
When you return, you'll be able to pick up right where you left off, without losing any of your previous work.
Remember to press the 'Submit' button once you've finished the inspection. After submitting, please allow some time for the inspection to upload. Once uploaded, you'll need to add your signature to finalize the process.
I need to request an extension for completing the inspection...
You will continue to have access to your inspection even after its due date. Typically, it is your property manager's decision to permit an extension. In these circumstances, we recommend that you reach out directly to your property manager and alert them of the situation. If you do not have your property manager's details feel free to reach out to us and we can pass you on their email.

Sometimes your unit will not exactly match the inspection sent to you. Don't worry, this can be easily edited in the app! You can add additional rooms or areas by selecting the "Add room/area" menu option at the bottom of the inspection page.
