Members discussed the inspection checklist. The members felt most of the items should remain on the checklist . No changes to the Exterior section, with the caveat that some areas are too broad, e.g., trash containers and the “cosmetic” appearance of the unit being rented. On the Interior checklist - remove the reference to shower and/or bath tub and the clean and sanitary language.
