Maybe in the city it's that way, but in the country they buy dilapidated houses (with money earned from working) and spend a year or many fixing them up before renting them out. Then they usually end up fixing it many times over after the "hardworking people" renting it destroy it.
Even in the city, you're offering a service. (Housing) People pay for the service. With notarized contracts, lease agreements, renter's insurance etc. How can that be stealing, when the party thats being "stolen" from has to sign legal agreements? Explain that to me.

As a past home inspector, we don’t test washing machines. We don’t call out paint as it’s cosmetic. Crawling under the home at the end of an inspection is already hard enough. When your screws are stripped or you don’t have a proper cover for the entrance, it can sometimes be impossible to get it back to the correct spot without damaging something. There has to be an agent at the inspection and although a good inspector will turn off everything as they test it, an agent should still double check everything. They’re typically the last people in the home (along with the buyers) so the chances of them being responsible is a lot higher than the inspector.

[@kaijorgensen6940]

@@StereoWarfare Depends on the situation. If it’s a sale of home, a third party inspector is supposed to do an impartial inspection without input from either the seller or buyer of the property. When one is listing a home for sale, the expectation is that you no longer care about “owning” it, hence why it’s being sold. The absence of an interested party is an attempt to prevent any form of fraud, I.E. not noticing rot, or recent paint that is covering water damage where the intrusion has not yet been addressed and so on. It’s very similar to having an independent mechanic inspect a used car before purchase.
If it’s an inspection between renting tenants, then it’s on him for hiring a poor company, and for not being present.
Regardless of why the home was inspected, no respecting professional doesn’t return the home to its prior state. But this video is severely lacking context. For all we know, he did these things and is looking for a scape goat. The burden of proof is always on the accuser.

[@slc308]

I'm an inspector. I keep the people in their vehicle on site... Go through everything... And then show them what I found and what needs fixed. By that point they can argue but it does t change the report. An no inspector removes boards and doesnt put them back up. But then again, the boards he is talking about are for a pier and post crawlspace foundation and not a basement like he said. So he probably removed them just for views. Especially because he is supposed to have an access panel for safety reasons and that's where the I Spector would have gone through.

The instant I saw the first estimate for the cost of replacing a wall heater, I knew that he was a criminal. His estimate was 5 times what it should have been. Without leaving my home state, I contacted a different company and got reasonable prices and a re-inspection, eliminating most of the first inspectors repairs. The second company had a stellar reputation. The original inspector contacted me with a threat and a complaint. I referred him to my attorney in Colorado, who quickly ended that encounter.

[@aaronmorgan8047]

I don't think the landlord is the issue it's the system around them houseing being a never ending positive investment and a good place to move your money into assets has made large companies sucking up all the houseing where the only goal is as much passive income and profit as possible it turns houseing into a never ending spiral of inflation. plus all the rules around constructing new houseing a hard and slow process that means all the other houseing is a never stoping inflating market smashing renters and buyers alike. We need massive houseing subsidies with mandatory production deadlines handed out to contractors as much as possible. To deflate the market. The vast majority of it should be also low income or mid income housing we have plenty of luxury houseing just sitting everywhere people can litterally squat for a year and no one notices. it's a tall order but a reduction in homelessness and an increase in production and renters and buyers means long term gains in taxes productivity etc. plus a passive decrease in crime and desperate people loseing their minds living on the street.

[@aaronmorgan8047]

the relationship between landlord and the person renting will always be a bit combative especially in the houseing atmosphere right now. Things need to change and if we make the right changes it could help almost every stat around crime homelessness tax and all kinds of other stuff. People are just lashing out at the person they can reach the easiest the land lord and the renter are right there the actual causes for the fighting and combative relations are large and hard societal problems.

As a home inspector states have different regulations and this why you shouldn't skimp on cheap inspectors. This is why you hire inspectors that are ASHI and Internachi certified. If a location is not accessible such as a basement/crawlspacethen we would not take the boards down. A proper inspector will inform you of things to be accessible prior to coming. We note it as such and move on. If there are superficial things like cosmetic damage where a tv was it's noted somtimes but more so we are looking for the major issues and yes everything should be left the same as you came in. Always call your agent to ask about turning everything off

You have no clue. Renters often destroy your property, leave without notice owing rent, even leaving utilities on and owing the utility bills.
My father had some flats in San Francisco. Whenever one was empty every flat was painted, damaged floors and walls repaired, appliances serviced or replaced. It wasn't long before every flat in that building was damaged, appliances missing or damaged. He lost a fortune on that building.
When I was in the Army I bought a new house in Tacoma. When I was sent overseas I hired a rental management company to rent it out. More than once renters left without notice, owing rent and the damage exceeded the damage deposit. I had a mortgage to pay plus rent on places I was stationed at. This property owner more likely is checking after a renter left. The utilities should have been cancelled by the renter and likely owed the utilities money. Guess who pays. The owner is stuck with it

Thats why you have your renting agent / realtor always follow the inspector around your properties.

[@labeerbower]

As a landlord you should be frequently checking your properties. Are you should have specially be inspecting them after tenant has moved out. You should have before and after checklist that must match. This way you have a checklist and pictures of before and after the tenant moves in and out of the property. This gives you legal documentation of any damage done to the property. There are also many other things a landlord can do to protect their investments. I would have been there like within a few days after the tenant moved out. If there was a property inspector. Again within a few days of them being there I would have come out and inspected the property to make sure it was in proper condition. For example Jim the summer months we would turn off the main breaker to the house if there was no one in the house. No sense keeping power on to the house if no one is living there. It is just a simple switch of switch to turn power back on. Sure all cupboards and appliances are cleaned leaving the doors open to those appliances keep them from rotting and getting nasty.

[@jesspeters1611]

Guess what, renters destroy your property, stop paying rent and leave owing several months rent. I was in the Army and had my house rented out. I still had a mortgage to pay. Meanwhile at least 2 renters stiffed me and damaged my house. Plus I had a rental manager that I had to pay. In the end I sold my house and lost money thanks to capital gains on top of repairs. You have no clue. The renter of his property more likely checks every time someone leaves, not after years of neglect. Even damage deposits often do not cover all the damage, particularly when the renters leave without notice and owing rent.

[@babelette]

@@jesspeters1611 there are good tenants and bad tenants. It's been well over 15 years since my parents went bankrupt due to my uncle messing up their businesses. Yeah, parents were millionaires but left all businesses to uncle to oversee. I was too young to know we were rich, especially since parents never spoilt us. We all lived humble lives. I have been living on rent for 15 years now. We have no home of our own and all the landlords are super happy to have us. I have a high credit score too because just like rent, I'm never late with credit repayment. We make sure no damage to the property and always clean. No missed or delayed payments. The ideal tenants. Between my mom's pension and my freelance earnings we pay rent without even a single missed payment. Not every tenant is out to ruin other people's property. Some of us are just happy we can still have a roof over our head and make sure we do right by the landlords. Now my parents are dead, no more pension. I'm mute and autistic so i don't have a salary job as a result. That's why "one wrong step" and I'll be homeless. However, I blog, freelance etc and support myself. These are not guaranteed consistent income, but with multiple streams + perfect credit I'm safe for now. So, even without mom's pension I'm still the ideal tenant. So sorry you had to deal with selfish tenants.

@@JamesR1986 you have no clue. Some landlords hire management companies to take care of collecting rent and maintaining the problem as was my case and many others serving in the military. My father invested in a building in a bad area. He with his sons, repaired, painted and cleaned every apartment before renting them out. By the time the last one was done the first ones were already seriously damaged. Walls damaged, appliances damaged, outlets damaged, we fixed everything but as fast as we repaired them the next apartment was abandoned, usually without notice and owing rent. He lost a fortune on that building. Your 50 dollar estimate is just so much BS. He still had to pay mortgage on the building on top of that. The profit on rentals for families is not all you think.
