Inspectors are required to move personal items that obstruct visibility.

The assertion that inspectors are required to move personal items that obstruct visibility is not accurate. Inspectors typically do not have the authority or the obligation to move personal belongings during an inspection. This is primarily due to respect for homeowner privacy and property rights. Instead, inspectors focus on assessing areas that are accessible and visible without disturbing items that belong to residents.

Furthermore, moving personal items could lead to potential liability issues or damage, and inspectors are trained to work within the confines of what they can see while maintaining professionalism and courtesy toward the property owner. By not moving personal items, inspectors avoid the risk of inadvertently causing issues or conflicts with the property's occupants.
