Why doesn't myInspections offer tenant-led inspections?
At myInspections, our focus is on on-site inspections carried out by property professionals, like property managers and inspectors, as well as DIY landlords. The app is designed to make inspections easy while physically visiting the property, helping document its condition with photos, videos, and notes.
Tenant-led inspections simply aren’t the niche we serve, so we stay focused on what we do best: supporting thorough, reliable, in-person inspections.
