What's On the Rental Inspection List?

September 15, 2022
The Denver Rental License program is phasing into 2022, with the city releasing news of a checklist and inspection guidebook. The program requires inspectors to check many areas of a rental property for safety and health reasons. If you are curious about what is on the inspection list, here’s an overview.
Rental Inspection List Denver CO
Not Your Typical Home Inspection When you go over the program’s checklist for rental property inspection in Denver, CO, it is evident that the property assessment is not intended to be like the home inspection a homebuyer pays for before closing on a home. The examination is far more rigorous—and, because of that, costly. The program’s checklist aims to ensure that the rental properties meet basic minimum standards for health and safety and that tenants live in safe and healthy environments. Specifics of the Inspections The inspections include the following:
  • Check equipment and facilities, such as kitchen sinks, bathtubs, showers, and toilets, to ensure they are correctly connected, and everything works.
  • Check the lighting, heating, and ventilation.
  • Check if the rental units are safe and sanitary.
  • Check the utility services, such as gas, water, and electricity.
  • Check the units for minimum occupancy requirements.
  • Check if the units prevent pests, such as bedbugs, mosquitoes, mice, cockroaches, and more.
Basis of the Inspection List The standards in the program are based on an existing list in the Denver Revised Municipal Code. That means they are standards already required of landlords. The city’s Department of Public Health and Environment has not been negligent in enforcing these requirements. Basics of the Checklist The program’s checklist promotes a general safety and health inspection. The inspection can be performed while the unit is vacant or occupied, and inspectors are meant to accommodate the tenants. It’s a visual inspection and non-invasive. Once the visual examination of the rental property is done, the inspector gives the unit a pass or fail rating. Sections of the Checklist The rental inspection checklist for Denver city has nine individual sections:
  • Egress
  • Water systems
  • Electrical
  • Fire safety
  • Walls, roof, and foundation
  • Trash removal
  • Pest Control
  • Required utilities, services, and equipment
  • Safe and sanitary for residents
Everything covered by the list presents serious safety issues already in the guidebook. With the checklist, property managers or landlords in Colorado can further understand what’s required in an inspection, and that knowledge can help them meet these requirements. Reach out to trusted property inspection companies to make the process as painless as possible.
