Use this short-term rental inspection checklist to prepare a unit for safe, compliant guest stays. Verify exterior access and clear paths of travel, code-compliant stairs and handrails, and visible address markings. Check interior life-safety items including exits, bedroom egress windows, interconnected smoke detectors, and required fire separation between units and doors to the main dwelling. Confirm heating systems are safe, identify shared systems, and note the unit’s heat source. Ensure 5 lb fire extinguishers are in place, a fire safety plan is posted, and the submitted floor plan matches the onsite layout. Ideal for hosts, property managers, and inspectors maintaining guest safety and regulatory compliance.
