I honestly don't know what you're talking about. I don't have to have
anyone inspect my house. I've had service people come in - three this
year, two in the last month, at my request. One to service the HVAC
unit under service contract and another a plumber to repair a toilet,
also under service contract. I set the appointments. I have another
plumber coming on Friday to replace a faucet cartridge.

No one who comes into my house has any say about how many cats I have or
don't have. Nor do they get "familiar" with me. Where on earth do you
live?!

As a long time US renter, every place that I have rented I have had the landlord come over at least annually to inspect the property for damage. The village we live in now actually requires that landlords do so annually.

I was a long term renter until my parents died and I inherited this
house. It was written into the lease, the landlord (property management
company) reserved the right to inspect for damage or to enter the
property without permission *if* they felt there was a problem. But it
wasn't a required annual inspection.

I'm sure different places have different rules and regs. One thing I do
know, they all had a limit on the number of pets. I paid "pet rent" to
cover possible damages. In every case the lease limited the number of
pets and imposed a weight limit per pet.

There have been situations where people collect animals and aren't able
to care for them or to keep the property maintained. Pet hoarders. Not
saying 'Kitten' has this issue. But I've never heard of what she's
talking about in terms of mandatory inspections.

I don't trust much I hear coming out of the aioe domain.
