Used by property professionals across the UK & Ireland to manage during-tenancy inspections, maintenance observations and landlord updates.
What is a midterm inspection?
A midterm inspection is a during-tenancy property check used to record the condition of a rental property while the tenancy is active. It helps agents, landlords and property managers understand how the property is being maintained, identify potential issues and record any follow-up actions.
During-Tenancy Record
Document property condition between check-in and check-out.
Property Condition Check
Record room-by-room observations, photos and comments.
Maintenance Awareness
Identify repairs, defects or maintenance issues that need attention.
Tenant Communication
Capture tenant comments, reported issues or access notes where appropriate.
Future Reference
Use midterm reports as part of the full tenancy lifecycle record.
Why midterm inspections matter
Midterm inspections give property teams a clearer view of what is happening during the tenancy, not just at the beginning and end. They help identify maintenance needs earlier, support better landlord updates and keep a more complete record across the tenancy lifecycle.

Turn observations into follow-up actions for property teams or contractors.
Stronger Tenancy Records
Keep midterm evidence connected to the inventory, check-in and check-out.
