Intro to Property Management:
Refrigerator & Freezer Inspections for Rental Properties
At Oak Point Property Management LLC, we take property inspections seriously — whether it’s a full move-in evaluation, a move-out walkthrough, or a routine maintenance visit while a tenant is in place. In this segment, we focus on how our team inspects refrigerators and freezers to keep appliances in excellent working order and ensure a smooth experience for both property owners and residents throughout St. Mary’s and Calvert Counties, Maryland.
Move-In and Move-Out Refrigerator Inspections
When conducting a move-in or move-out inspection, we perform a thorough evaluation of both the refrigerator and freezer compartments. Our team:
- Opens both the refrigerator and freezer to check that all shelves are in perfect condition.
- Verifies there is no ice buildup inside the freezer or on interior surfaces.
- Ensures the appliance is running properly and cooling effectively.
- Tests the ice maker (if present) to confirm it’s functioning without leaks or buildup.
- Documents the interior condition with notes and photos for accurate records.
This level of detail helps protect property owners and provides clear accountability during the turnover process.
Routine Maintenance Inspections with Active Tenants
During regular property visits when a tenant is actively living in the home, our team modifies its approach out of respect for the tenant’s privacy and belongings. Instead of inspecting the interior, we:
- Document the exterior condition of the refrigerator and freezer.
- Ensure that handles are secure and in good shape.
- Check for any active water leaks coming from the bottom of the appliance.
- Listen to confirm the unit is running correctly.
This allows us to keep an eye on potential maintenance issues without disrupting the tenant’s daily life.
Why These Inspections Matter
Regular refrigerator and freezer inspections help prevent small issues from becoming expensive repairs. By documenting the condition at every stage — from move-in to routine checks — Oak Point Property Management ensures appliances remain in good working order and property value is protected.
