Attention Tenants:

On ____(date)____ between _____ & _____ your home will have its required yearly inspection by the City of East Lansing. You do not need to be present, but may if you wish.

*storage boxes and items in the basement organized
*trash in proper containers and litter picked up in the yard
*all light fixtures with working bulb and covers on (porcelain lights don't require covers).
*no tenant installed locks ($50 fine if you have your own lock & possible re-inspection fee).

*any additional refrigerators must be plugged directly into an outlet or removed.
*no flammable material or objects within a 3 foot radius of the hot water heater & furnace.
*cable/phone/ethernet/etc. wires can't be run across the floor and doorways. Even if wires are

*Other ________________________________________________________________________
Hagan Realty will not repair tenant caused damages prior to the inspection unless we receive written permission from the tenants within 24 hours of receiving this notice. If you fail the inspection due to tenant caused damages, Hagan Realty will then repair those items and you will be billed.
A re-inspection fee will be charged by the City and Hagan Realty if tenant controlled violations occur.
There will be no notice, beyond this letter, given to tenants before H.R.I. inspects your property
All City inspections will be done during normal business hours.
We do a large number of inspections each month, each requiring a pre-inspection, therefore we cannot predict the exact time we will come to your house.
Please contact Hagan Realty at (517)351-0765 during regular business hours if you have any questions.
