We will be moving into our first home after a week when the tenants there vacate the unit. The real estate will do the final inspection and said we can be present during the inspection.
As far as I understand, the real estate will check the current condition of the premises against the condition report of the unit when the tenants first moved in.
* If you can give us tips/advice on conducting the inspection, that will be highly appreciated.
* What are the things, as a owner - whether or not we can be present during the inspection, do we need to keep in mind before releasing the bond?
* If the condition of the unit is not satisfactory, how much can we deduct from the bond? Can the real estate advise us on that or do we have to know that ourselves?
* Whatever amount is being deducted from the bond, does the real estate have to transfer that money into our account if we decide to fix/clean the unit ourselves? How does this all work?
* Any other tips/advice?
