Rental Inspections in Lakewood

What is a LAKEWOOD STR Rental Inspection?

If you rent a short-term rental (STR) (or even just advertise that for rent) in Lakewood, your unit must be licensed. A rental inspection is required by the city before you can receive or renew that license.

• Licensed provider: Rental Inspections is fully licensed and meets all qualifications to perform all Lakewood STR Rental inspection requirements.

What Happens After an Inspection?

• If your unit passes: You’ll receive the official inspection documents needed for your rental license application.
• If your unit fails: We’ll provide a clear list of corrections so you can get into compliance quickly.

How Often Are Inspections Required?

Rental inspections are required every 4 years. To keep things stress-free, inspections can be scheduled up to 1 year before renewal.

👉 We recommend booking your inspection 3–6 months before your license expires to avoid last-minute issues.
