Move-Out Inspection Checklist

Property Management
Janitorial / Facilities

A move-out condition record for a rental unit, backed by video walkthrough evidence: room condition, wall and flooring damage, appliance function, cleanliness, and keys returned — the documentation a deposit decision needs.

Who uses it and how often

Used by
Property managers, landlords, and leasing agents.
Frequency
At every tenant move-out, and ideally at move-in for comparison.
