Building exterior: the property manager may inspect the exterior of the building for signs of damage, such as cracks, water damage, or peeling paint.

Roof: the roof may be inspected for signs of wear and tear, such as missing or damaged shingles.

Plumbing: the property manager may inspect the plumbing system for leaks, blockages, or other issues.

Electrical: the electrical system may be inspected for any hazards or code violations, such as overloaded circuits or faulty wiring.

HVAC system: the property manager may inspect the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning system to ensure that it is functioning properly and efficiently.

Appliances: any appliances provided by the landlord, such as refrigerators, stoves, or washing machines, should be checked to ensure that they are in good working order.

Smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors: the property manager may check that smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors are installed and functioning properly.

Common areas: if the property includes common areas such as hallways or elevators, these areas may also be inspected for maintenance needs or safety hazards.
