FREE RENTAL CONDITION REPORT
Start with the suggested checklist. Tap any area to record what you see, add photos and sign.
A USEFUL RECORD FROM DAY ONE
Use this move-in and move-out checklist to record the condition of a rental home or apartment. A landlord, property manager or tenant can start the report. Walk through the home together when possible, describe what you actually observe, and give each participant a copy.
Start with the entrance, living room, kitchen, three bedrooms and two bathrooms. Remove any spaces your home does not have, then include spaces such as a garage, balcony, yard or laundry room. Use Add area for a pool, roof or other part of the property. Only record places you can safely observe.
Check floors, walls, ceilings, doors, windows and the fixtures or appliances provided with the rental. Choose Good, Issue, Not checked or Not applicable for each item. Nothing is marked Good automatically. Add a short note wherever useful.
Example: “Bedroom 2: small chip in the paint beside the closet door.” A specific location is easier to compare later.
Take a wider photo for location and a closer one for detail. Add up to eight photos per area using Choose photos or Take photo. Photos stay attached to that area and inspection stage. Delete an unwanted photo before finishing.
Save your move-in draft and download an editable backup. When you start Move-out, the room list and basic details carry over; the new observations start unchecked. The move-out document includes available move-in observations for comparison. You can also start a move-out report without a move-in record.
Record each person's comments, including any different observations. Each person signs their own section. An unsigned section remains marked Not signed; one person's signature does not stand in for the other person's agreement. After reviewing the report, download the PDF or print it and share a copy with the other participant.

No. It records observations. It does not decide responsibility, normal wear, deposit deductions or repair costs. State and local requirements, the lease and the particular facts may affect how an inspection record is used.
This is a general condition record, not a certification that a home meets a housing inspection standard. Check the requirements that apply to your rental before relying on a checklist for a deposit or move-out process.
For example, Arizona's security deposit statute addresses move-in forms and move-out inspection notification. Washington's deposit statute specifies a signed and dated condition checklist. Completing this tool alone does not carry out every requirement.
HUD's landlord forms guidance describes using a move-in/move-out form to record room condition. Its sample is a structural reference, not a claim that this tool is an official HUD form.
