Get an inspection
The first step is to hire a licensed SmartRegs inspector to visit your rental property and complete an inspection. The results of the inspection determine whether or not improvements need to be completed. All improvements must also be verified by the inspector who will then update the points.
-
Connect with a licensed SmartRegs Inspector
Based on your needs, choose a licensed inspector from the List of SmartRegs Inspectors and Services Offered.
-
Submit a scheduling request
Once you have chosen an inspector, submit a scheduling request. The inspector will respond to coordinate timing.

If improvements are needed

If your property passes the inspection
- Make sure that your inspector updates your score based on the completed improvements.
- Make sure your rental license application exhibits that SmartRegs compliance has been obtained for the rental property.
