Rental inspection checklist questions

What does this rental inspection checklist include?
It generates room-by-room items from the property type, bedroom count, inspection type, and optional sections selected. Items come from RentManager's inspection checklist defaults.
Can I save the checklist to a property?
After registration, choose a property, review the checklist, and confirm to save it as the property's inspection template. No inspection record is created.
Is the checklist legal advice or a compliance certificate?
No. It is a practical working list, not legal advice or a compliance certificate. Check current official Tenancy Services guidance for inspection notice and frequency requirements.
