What You Should Document During Move-In

Proper documentation provides a clear record of the property’s condition and ensures both landlord and renter understand the state of the unit at the start of the lease.

1. Take Photos and Videos

Capture wide-angle shots of each room

Photograph any existing damage, stains, or scratches

Include close-ups of appliances, fixtures, and flooring

Record timestamps for all images or videos if possible

2. Inspect Appliances and Fixtures

Test all major appliances including refrigerator, range, dishwasher, and washer/dryer

Check plumbing fixtures for leaks or damage

Verify that light switches, outlets, and smoke detectors are functioning

Document any repairs needed immediately to inform the landlord

3. Note Furniture or Provided Items

List any furniture included with the rental

Record the condition of each item

Take photos of furniture placement if included in the lease

Ensure both parties agree on the condition of provided items

4. Review the Walls, Floors, and Ceilings

Look for cracks, holes, or stains

Document flooring condition including scratches or wear

Check ceilings for water damage or discoloration

Record any areas that may need repair or attention

5. Sign and Share Move-In Documentation
