To ensure a smooth and transparent move-in experience, GPS Renting conducts a detailed inspection and maintenance process before and after each resident begins occupancy.
1. Move-In Inspection #
A few days before move-in, we perform a move-in inspection to document the property’s condition. This includes:
- Verifying the condition of the interior, appliances, and key features
- Taking photos or notes to create a permanent record for comparison at move-out
- Identifying any maintenance issues that may require attention
If any repairs are needed before the resident moves in, we schedule those promptly.
2. Post Move-In Repair Appointment #
Approximately two weeks after move-in, we schedule a follow-up maintenance visit (if needed). This timing allows residents to settle in and report anything that may not have been apparent during the initial inspection.
By grouping these requests into a single appointment, we can address multiple issues efficiently and often reduce maintenance costs.
3. Maintenance and Repairs #
All repair and maintenance work is coordinated through trusted vendors. We work with:
- Our affiliated team at GPS Maintenance, and
- A network of reliable, licensed local contractors
If you have preferred service providers, we’re happy to accommodate them whenever possible.
4. Repair Approval Process #
- For routine repairs under $500, we proceed without requiring advance owner approval to avoid delays
- For repairs exceeding $500, we’ll contact you before proceeding, unless it’s an emergency (e.g., active water leak)
Urgent repairs are handled immediately to protect your property, and you’ll be notified as soon as possible afterward.
5. Billing and Owner Statements #
- All repair costs are documented and added to your Monthly Owner Statement, issued by the 12th of each month
- Original receipts are attached to each billed repair item
- Repairs are typically paid from rental proceeds
- If a vendor requires payment before rent is collected, GPS Renting will handle the upfront payment and reflect it on your statement as a GPS Renting charge
