Re: Right to photograph interiors? by OK-LL on June 28, 2013 @10:17

                              
I've had occupied properties inspected and photographed by outside vendors such as appraisers and EMP inspectors many times. I explain to the tenant that we are looking at the structure, not the cleanliness or personal property of the tenant, and if they are uncomfortable with particular possessions being exposed, they are welcome to lock things in a closet or cover them with sheets, and they are welcome to accompany the inspector/photographer through the property. I haven't had anyone balk after this explanation, although some have been reluctant. But if this is a business decision you're making (getting a refi), then you need to follow through and you cannot let your tenants dictate your business decisions (although you may end up alienating your tenant and having to find a new one, which you have to take that into consideration).
