The data processing system includes a property inspection data entry device for collecting and storing inspection data during the inspection of a property. The property inspection data entry device typically includes a scanner which is responsive to labels which are associated with the property as well as various items located about the property which include indicia representative of predetermined characteristics of the rental unit. The property inspection data entry device also includes a data entry device, such as a keypad, for providing manual entry of additional inspection data. The data processing system can also include a maintenance data entry device for collecting and storing maintenance data relating to maintenance activities performed on a property. The data processing system also includes a host computer for electrically communicating with the property inspection data entry device and the maintenance data entry device prior to and subsequent to inspection and maintenance activities, respectively. In particular, the inspection and maintenance data stored by the data entry devices can be transferred to the host computer following the inspection and maintenance activities. The host computer can then sort the data according to one or more predetermined parameters such that a number of customized reports and/or work orders can be generated. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a data processing system for facilitating the compilation and processing of data obtained during the management of rental properties.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a data processing system for facilitating the inspection of a rental property and an associated method of compiling inspection data for the rental property.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide a data processing system for facilitating the maintenance of a rental property and an associated method of compiling maintenance data for the rental property.
It is yet another object of the present invention to provide a data processing system and method which provides for the organized and efficient tracking of the assets and the relative condition and other characteristics of the assets of a rental property.
These and other objects are provided, according to one aspect of the present invention, by a data processing system which includes a property inspection data entry device for compiling inspection data during the inspection of a property and which includes reader means, data entry means and memory means.
The reader means, such as a scanner, is responsive to labels associated with the property and various items therein which include indicia representative of the predetermined characteristics of the property and the various items therein, respectively.
The data entry means, such as a keypad having a plurality of keys, is responsive to actuation by an operator of the property inspection data entry device during inspection of the property so as to receive additional inspection data relating to the property.
Further, the memory means stores the inspection data relating to the property received by both the reader means and the data entry means.
Thus, the inspection data relating to the condition and/or contents of a property, such as a rental unit, a common area or the exterior of a building, can be efficiently compiled and stored in a timely and accurate fashion during the inspection of the property
