Landlord's Letter Arranging Routine Inspection

A "Download Now" template letter that landlords can use to inform their tenant that they are making a routine property inspection.

It's a good idea that, as a landlord, you carry out routine visits to your rental property to keep an eye on your property investment and to give your tenant the opportunity to see you taking an interest in the tenancy. 

But if you want to check out the condition of your property during a tenancy, by law, a landlord must not enter the property unannounced and must forewarn the tenant of a property inspection.

By using this easy-to-complete template letter, in "Download Now" Word format, you can inform your tenant quickly and easily about when you want to make a visit to check out your rental property. 

Carrying out a regular property inspection is the ideal way to keep up to date with the property's condition, to make sure that the building is in good repair and to plan for any future work that you may have to budget for.

Legal note: This letter gives the tenant notice that you intend to inspect the property, and gives them an opportunity to suggest an alternative time. However, nothing in this letter can override the fundamental legal right of the tenant to refuse the landlord access to the property, and there are circumstances where it would be inappropriate for the landlord to rely on the tenant’s tacit consent to an inspection. You should take further advice if the tenant has previously objected to the inspections being carried out without their specific approval.
