Ventilation and dryer systems; leaks and potential fire hazards.

· Bathrooms:

Bathtub, shower, sink, and toilet inspection. Proper ventilation and plumbing.

· Kitchen appliances (if part of purchase):

Properly working devices and correct installation.

· Fire safety:

Smoke detectors are in place and operating, as well as fireplaces and stoves.

· Pest inspection:
