Renters deserve a safe, efficient, and comfortable home—without surprises, energy waste, or hidden issues that could lead to stress or unexpected costs. This visit focuses on the essentials that matter most to renters: safety checks, energy and comfort improvements, and identifying problems early so you can communicate clearly with your landlord and protect your peace of mind.
We begin with a full safety review to ensure your rental is functioning properly and protecting you and your family. This includes:
Smoke detector and CO detector testing + battery checks
Identifying fire exits and confirming clear egress paths
Fire extinguisher inspection (if one is present)
Locating and testing water shutoff valves
Showing you the gas shutoff (if applicable)
Identifying and testing GFCI and AFCI outlets
Basic electrical outlet/switch inspection
Inspecting railings, stairs, and flooring for hazards
Checking garage door safety sensors
Verifying flashlight batteries and first aid supplies
Noting hazardous material storage concerns
Spotting structural red flags renters should report immediately
Everything is documented so you can share issues with your landlord when appropriate.
Small adjustments can make a huge difference in monthly utility bills. I’ll walk through the home and help optimize comfort and energy use with renter-friendly improvements such as:
Checking thermostat batteries and proper operation
Inspecting weather stripping on exterior doors
Reviewing attic insulation depth (where accessible)
Checking or replacing HVAC filters (filter provided by you)
Reversing ceiling fan direction for the season
Locating and sealing minor air leaks around outlets, windows, and doors
Inspecting and insulating cold-prone water pipes
Testing and cleaning bath and kitchen exhaust fans
Checking refrigerator door seals for efficiency
Cleaning refrigerator coils
Cleaning or checking dishwasher and range hood filters
Recommending low-flow aerators or showerheads for comfort and savings
These renter-safe improvements can lower energy bills, reduce drafts, and make the home feel more comfortable without modifying the home’s structure or systems.
Many renters aren’t shown how their home works. We’ll cover:
How to operate the thermostat efficiently
How to reset a tripped breaker
Where all shutoffs are and when to use them
Identifying what maintenance renters are responsible for
Tips for avoiding charges at move-out
Safe use of appliances, extension cords, and surge protectors
This helps prevent avoidable damage, fees, and safety risks.
Before we finish, you’ll receive photos, notes, or video (upon request) showing:
Preexisting issues
Safety concerns
Efficiency opportunities
Any items that should be addressed by the landlord
This gives you a clear, professional record you can use if needed.
Common feedback includes:
“My bills dropped immediately.”
“I finally understand how everything in my place works.”
“I feel safer and more comfortable now.”
“Thank you for spotting issues I should report to the landlord.”
“This helped me avoid problems during my lease.”
Renters don’t just want a place to live, they want it to feel safe, efficient, and comfortable. This visit gives them exactly that.
I’d be happy to help you improve comfort, safety, and efficiency in your rental home.
