Document issues before moving in: Move In Checklist
What is a Move In Checklist?
A Move-In Checklist is a document used to list any damages, defacements, or out-of-order aspects of a rental property before the tenant moves in. Move-In Checklists help document any pre-existing issues with the rental property and serves as a record to protect against any future legal claims.
Move-In Checklists are often completed during the initial walkthrough with both the landlord and the tenant and may also be referred to as Walkthrough Checklists or Inspection Checklists.
When to use a Pre-Rental Inspection Checklist:
- You're a landlord who has a new tenant.
- You're a tenant who just moved in.
- You manage properties.
