Site Inspections
A site inspection must occur to assess the current state of the lot once the home is physically removed from it. It’s important to note any damage or repairs needed to the land, driveway, water/sewer risers, electric pedestals, etc. It’s also important to note the party responsible for any damage or repairs, and how much it will cost to fix.
Some important things to do on the site include:
- Verify the electric box is not active, electric conduit is cut flush with the ground, and the wire has been coiled and fastened to the pedestal with a zip tie.
- Verify the water riser/pit cover is in place and the water meter returned to the Community office.
- Winterize the water riser if needed.
- Verify the sewer line/septic system has been capped. If not, cap it immediately.
- Once Home Removal Status is listed as Completed, the Site Inspection field will show as Pending. On the Resident Home Move Out record, under Move Out Steps, click Pending to go to the Site Inspection.
- NOTE: You can also access the Pending Site Inspection by going to the: Lease Operations tab > Move Outs > Site Inspections tab and selecting the Record ID.
