Quick Overview
An inspection packet should let another person understand what was seen, when it was seen, where it was seen, and what happens next. Use consistent room labels, dated images, meter readings where relevant, and a separate action list.
Common Mistakes
Avoid undated photos and vague notes such as "needs attention." Do not mix completed repairs with recommendations. Keep resident privacy in mind when storing images.
Common Questions Answered
Is a photo enough evidence?
Usually not. Add location, date, condition notes, and the action or decision connected to the image. The packet should support a later review without relying on memory.
