A rental inspection is an inspection of your home/apartment to ensure that it is meeting the City of Fort Collins Rental Housing Minimum Requirements. This is to ensure that the home provides a safe and healthy environment for residents to live in. Inspectors will look at the exterior, interior, electrical, mechanical and fire safety.  

These standards are different than the Warrant of Habitability, which sets minimum standards for the state.  The Warrant of Habitability must be enforced through the court system.  

You can schedule an inspection any time you believe that your rental home is not meeting minimum standards.  We recommend that renters contact their landlord about maintenance or repair before scheduling a rental inspection.  Their rental property is their investment, and they benefit from having it in good working order.  

We recommend contacting us first through phone at 970-657-9521 or email at rentalhousing@fcgov.com so we can learn more about your situation and provide suggestions or resources.  You can also fill out an inspection request online.  After the form is submitted, we will work with you to schedule the inspection.
