Rental Inspection Checklist

A Rental Inspection Checklist is a document used to record the condition of a rental property at the time of a tenant's move-in or move-out. It helps ensure that both the landlord and tenant are on the same page regarding the property's condition and protects both parties from potential disputes over damages or responsibilities.

Both the landlord/property manager and the tenant typically fill in the Rental Inspection Checklist. The landlord or property manager usually conducts the initial inspection at move-in, and the tenant may be asked to verify the findings. A second apartment inspection checklist may occur at move-out to assess any changes in the property's condition.

The Rental Inspection Checklist is usually kept by the landlord or property management company. The completed form is typically submitted to the landlord or property manager for their records. In the case of e-signing, it can be submitted digitally via an online portal or email.
