Security Deposit Inventory
Before moving into a rental unit, work with the landlord to complete this checklist to document the contents and their condition. Note items that are missing and detail specifically all damages noticed. Complete this inventory just prior to taking possession of the property.
Make and sign a list of any agreed upon repairs that are to be done. Both you and the landlord should sign and date these documents. Be specific. Keep the originals with your lease. Make a photocopy for the landlord. As further protection, take photos of the interior of the unit before moving in.
When moving out, revisit this inventory with the landlord. Each of you should again sign off on it. Also take pictures before leaving in case questions arise later.
