FAQ – Can the inspection report be changed if the tenant notices something wrong after signing it?

Print Friendly, PDF & Email

Once the tenant signs off on an inspection report, it is a final document and usually not changed. If the tenant notices damage in the property after moving in, they should inform the landlord in writing. The tenant should alert the landlord as soon as possible of the damage. By putting the problem down in writing, the tenant will have proof that they alerted the landlord of the problem. This way, it may help protect the tenant’s security deposit later on.
