Vacant Unit Inspection Checklist

by Waikiat Wong, from the Community

This Vacant Unit Inspection checklist helps property managers, landlords, and facilities teams assess the condition of empty residential or commercial units before handover. Record site details, unit number, and date; capture perimeter photos; and verify key areas like doors, toilets and plumbing, ceilings, walls and flooring. Note any vegetation growth on exterior surfaces, and identify signs of pests such as termites, ants, or bees. Use the checklist to document damages, safety concerns, and maintenance needs so units are secure, compliant, and ready for turnover. Space is provided for preparer details and location to maintain clear records.
