Frequently asked questions

Is a move-in checklist legally required?

Some states require a written condition statement before a deposit is collected; in every state it's strong evidence if a deposit deduction is ever disputed.

Do I need to fill this out again at move-out?

Yes — compare the same rooms against the same checklist so any new damage is clear. Bundle purchasers can re-edit this document within their 12-month window.
