Let ProTec document the condition of your rental property prior to new occupancy.

Required Inspections

When required by your county, you will need to conduct a rental inspection for your property before taking on tenants.

Baltimore requires rental inspections every two years or between tenants. This is done to ensure that the units meet local requirements and ensure you’re protected if anything goes awry within your property.

You will need a state-licensed home inspector to assess your units, following the county’s provided forms to make sure it’s approved. To find out what yours may require, refer to their website for more information.
