How to fill it in

Walk room by room with the resident and record condition in the same order every time, photographing each room including appliances, floors, and any existing damage. Date the photographs, have both parties sign, and give the resident a copy the same day.

Common mistakes

Skipping photographs because the unit is new is the mistake that costs a deposit case later. Vague entries — 'good', 'fine' — carry no weight; noting 'small scuff, north wall, photographed' does. Store the record on the unit, not on a phone.

State-specific notes

State-specific rules apply — always confirm the notice period, required disclosures, and format your state requires. See our landlord-law pages for state-by-state notes.
