Rental Housing Inspection | Approved Private Inspector
The Rental Housing Inspection program is a regulatory framework established by local City Councils to ensure that registered rental properties consistently maintain minimum safety, structural, and health standards. Under these municipal mandates, landlords must have their units evaluated by an approved inspector at least once every few years to maintain active rental licenses.
As a premier provider of certified property assessments, LAT Inspection is your trusted, city-approved private inspector. We specialize in helping housing providers seamlessly navigate municipal codes, avoid costly city penalties, and keep their portfolios fully compliant. Currently, LAT Inspection officially serves as an approved private rental housing inspector for the following Washington municipalities: Seattle, Burien, Tukwila, and Lakewood.
