Instructions
All of the below items must be reviewed and notated prior to move-in and, again, prior to vacating the
premises. A legend with helpful abbreviations can be found below to assist in filling out and reviewing
this checklist. Any damages agreed upon during the Move In Inspection will be repaired by the landlord
within a mutually agreed upon time. Any damages upon moving out that were not documented during
the initial Move In Inspection may result in some, or all, of your security deposit being withheld.
Upon inspection at move-out, the landlord will send your security deposit to the forwarding address
provided. If a new address is not provided, your security deposit will be mailed to your current address
and the Post Office will forward to your new listed address.
