Landlord Move Out Checklist
Why Move Out Inspections Matter
A move-out checklist is used to inspect a rental property when tenants leave. This inspection determines whether the tenant caused damage beyond normal wear and tear. The checklist is often compared with the move-in inspection to identify any changes in property condition. It is highly important that you take photos and do a move-in/out inspection….failing to do this can cost thousands.
What a Move Out Checklist Should Include
Property Condition
Inspect the condition of:
- walls and paint
- flooring and carpets
- doors and windows
Appliances
Verify that appliances are functioning properly and have not been damaged.
Cleanliness
Tenants should leave the property in reasonably clean condition. The checklist should note any cleaning required.
Security Deposit Deductions
If damage beyond normal wear and tear is found, landlords may deduct repair costs from the security deposit. Documentation from the move-out checklist helps justify these deductions.
