Information

Premises Move-In / Move-Out Inspection Checklist

Whenever a Tenant moves in or moves out of any rented/leased residential premises, the Landlord and the Tenant(s) should conduct a joint inspection of the premises. This will allow the Landlord and the Tenant(s) to determine if any part of the premises were damaged before the start of occupancy or during the term of the lease. A Premises Move-In / Move-Out Inspection Checklist form is useful to document the inspection and can help avoid problems at the end of the lease. This Inspection Checklist can also help the Landlord justify any security deposit deductions, if warranted.

Some states actually require that the Landlord and Tenant conduct an inspection of the premises to be rented, before physical occupancy by the tenant or before the lease is signed. Even if a state does not require a joint inspection, it is always a good idea to conduct one and to use and complete a Premises Move-In / Move-Out Inspection Checklist out.
