We recently leased a condo for a client in Scottsdale.  The last tenants had to be evicted (not tenants we brought) but guess what they did?  The property was clean, very clean when they moved out but once the new tenant moved in one room had no power! 

An electrician had discovered that inside each of the electrical contacts the insulation had been removed from each wire: this is a clear and probably fire hazard the electrician indicated. 

Why did they do it?  I won’t answer for them but this put at risk the entire building: at risk of fire.  This sort of stuff is very uncommon but, it raised the question to what extent should you do an move in and move out inspection?  That is something each owner needs to answer them selves but make sure you insurance is up to date.
