Move - In Checklist for Landlords

The Move-In Checklist is a comprehensive tool designed to help landlords document the condition of their rental property before a new tenant moves in. This easy-to-use checklist ensures a smooth transition by providing a detailed record of the property’s condition, protecting both landlords and tenants from potential disputes over damages or repairs. It covers key areas such as walls, floors, appliances, fixtures, and systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical, HVAC), with space to note existing wear, damage, or issues. By using this checklist, landlords can establish a clear baseline, simplify move-out inspections, and comply with local regulations regarding security deposit disputes. Provide this checklist to tenants during a joint walk-through to set expectations and foster a professional landlord-tenant relationship.
