A pre-inspection allows AMHA to inspect a unit before an RTA is submitted to shorten the time it takes to lease up a tenant. The purpose of the pre-inspection is to prepare an Owner/Agent for future HCV participation in accordance with HUD inspection requirements.

The unit must be vacant for the inspection and remain vacant until leased up with a voucher holder for the pre-inspection to remain valid.

If the pre-inspection passes, it will be valid for 90 days. If an RTA is processed during this time, no additional inspection will be required.

If the pre-inspection fails, then an RTA must be submitted for another inspection to be scheduled.
