Rule Change Requires Inspectors to Explain Reason for Checking Multiple Boxes
The Texas Real Estate Commission met?February 13 in Austin and adopted amendments to Section 535.223, Standard Inspection Report Form, which will become effective March 7.
The changes clarify that when multiple boxes are checked for a particular item on the?"Property Inspection Report Form"?(REI 7-6), the inspector must also explain the reason for checking multiple boxes.
The adopted amendments also remove single-system inspections from the list of exemptions?meaning the requirements in Section 535.223 would apply to those inspections.
