Property Condition Surveys That Protect Your Rental Home
Our property surveys are not real estate purchase inspections. These are structured walk throughs designed to review visible condition, identify wear and tear, and spot issues before they grow into larger problems.

What a Property Survey Includes
A property survey focuses on the overall condition of the home during the lease term. We are looking for visible maintenance concerns, safety issues, lease violations, and signs of damage that need attention.
This is not the same as the detailed inspection a buyer orders during a home purchase. Instead, it is a practical review of how the property is being maintained while occupied.
We check items such as:
General cleanliness and upkeep
Visible plumbing leaks
HVAC performance concerns
Signs of water intrusion
Exterior condition
Obvious safety hazards
The goal is to identify issues early and document the condition of the home at that point in time.
At Hendricks, You Get Two Surveys Per Lease Term
For a standard one-year lease, we conduct two property surveys. After each visit, we upload a report so you can clearly see the status of your investment.
These reports provide written documentation and supporting photos when necessary. You stay informed without needing to schedule visits or coordinate directly with tenants.
Regular oversight helps reduce surprises at move-out.
Preventing Small Problems From Becoming Expensive Repairs
Routine property surveys play a major role in protecting your investment. Small issues like minor leaks, HVAC filter neglect, or drainage concerns can turn into costly repairs if left unaddressed.
By identifying maintenance needs early, we can coordinate repairs before damage spreads. This helps control expenses and maintain the overall condition of the property.
Consistent follow-up also shows tenants that the property is being professionally managed.
Documentation That Protects You
Property surveys create a documented record of the home’s condition during occupancy. This is especially helpful if questions arise about tenant-caused damage or lease compliance.
Clear documentation supports:
Security deposit decisions
Repair responsibility determinations
Lease enforcement conversations
If a dispute occurs, having time-stamped reports and notes provides clarity and protection.
Following Proper Notice and Procedure
In Texas, entry into an occupied rental must follow the lease terms and proper notice requirements. We coordinate inspections with tenants in a professional manner and document communication.
By following consistent procedures, we help avoid misunderstandings and keep the process smooth for everyone involved.
Long-Term Property Protection
Regular property surveys give you peace of mind. Instead of waiting until a problem surfaces, we take a proactive approach to monitoring your rental.
By conducting routine walk throughs, documenting findings, and addressing visible concerns promptly, we help keep your property in good condition and positioned for long-term value.
Your investment deserves consistent oversight.
