As a property owner you always want to ensure that your investment is maintained. Problems can frequently arise when Tenants vacate the premises and damage has occurred. Documenting the precise condition of your rental at the onset of the tenancy is important. Should you be required to use part of the security deposit to correct damage, an argument could arise. This Premises Move-In/Move-Out Checklist alleviates this problem by giving both you and your tenant a tool to assess the condition of the premises at the beginning, as well as the end of the rental term.

Documenting your dealings with your tenants always makes good business sense and is important should a matter end up in court. Some states have laws that require all premises be inspected prior to a new tenancy. If this is not required in your state, it is still good business practice to document the condition of the premises. This convenient form serves as proof that an inspection took place and serves as a record of the condition of the premises at the beginning of the rental term.

This Premises Move-In/Move-Out Checklist covers:

• Appliances
• Carpeting and Drapes
• Walls
• Fireplace
• Yard
