Eliminate self-inspection option for rental properties and expand mandatory inspections
In Plain English
Richmond currently allows some landlords to inspect their own rental units instead of hiring certified inspectors. This change requires all rental property owners to use professional inspectors every 3 years. More affordable housing units will also need inspections. Landlords pay inspection fees, so this costs the city nothing but increases costs for property owners.
