A lease inspection can have many advantages for the Lessee and/or the Lessor.

Some advantages of a third-party pre-lease inspection for the Lessee include:

• Verification that components are functioning and suitable for intended use.

• Knowing the condition of the property and its components prior to occupancy could protect Lessee from assuming liability associated with existing defects or premature failure of components.

• Understanding long-term maintenance requirements and related costs can be useful for budgeting purposes in NNN leases.

Some advantages of a third-party pre-lease Inspection for the Lessor:

• Establishing a baseline condition for the property prior to leasing may help owners recover costs for damages incurred during occupancy.

• Property condition assessment can help owners understand and set/monitor maintenance guidelines expected of tenant.
