Condo Inspection Checklist

Creating a condo inspection checklist using eAuditor involves identifying key areas of the condo that need to be inspected regularly.

A condo inspection is a detailed evaluation of the condition of a condominium unit. This inspection typically focuses on the unit’s interior, but it can also include common areas if applicable. The goal is to identify any potential issues or defects, ensuring that the property is in good condition and that any necessary repairs or maintenance are addressed.
