Housing Quality Inspections (HQS)

As part of the Lease Renewal process, CHAD residents will receive a Housing Quality Inspection (HQS) annually. The purpose of an HQS inspection is to ensure the CHAD rental unit is being well maintained and there are no lease violations.  We encourage residents to take pride in their homes by always maintaining good housekeeping. HQS Inspections are scheduled annually and/or before a lease renewal is offered. The expectation is for residents to maintain their homes with good housekeeping and report any maintenance repairs and/or pest issues immediately.  Inspections are scheduled with at least a 48-hour notice. Your presence is welcomed, but not necessary. The inspection cannot be completed if there is anyone under the age of 18 years old or anyone present that is not on the lease. 

Below are three helpful Checklists to help you prepare for your next HQS inspection.
