Lease Inspections

In our recent discussion about post-lease inspections for triple-net properties, we highlighted the top five repairs landlords often face after tenants move out. According to online chatter in the commercial real estate world, here are the top fixes that come up the most:

1. Repainting Walls and Replacing Flooring – This is the number one repair, as a fresh coat of paint and new flooring often help reset the space for the next tenant.

2. Minor Wall Repairs – Patching up nail holes, fixing scuffs, and smoothing out drywall imperfections are all common tasks.

3. Lighting Fixture Updates – Replacing or repairing light fixtures that may be outdated or worn out is another frequent necessity.

4. Cleaning and Detailing – While not a "repair" in the strictest sense, a thorough professional cleaning is almost always needed to get rid of leftover grime.

5. Replacing or Repairing Interior Signage – In some cases, removing old tenant-specific signs or branded elements is necessary.
