Question 1

What is a move-in/move-out inspection?

Accepted Answer

It is an independent condition assessment of a rental property documenting its state before you move in and after you move out. This creates a clear, photographic record that protects both tenant and landlord.

Question 2

Who needs a rental property condition report?

Accepted Answer

Both tenants and landlords benefit. Tenants use it to protect their security deposit. Landlords use it to justify deductions for damage caused during the tenancy and to maintain property value.

Question 3

Can the inspection report protect my security deposit?

Accepted Answer

Yes. A professional condition report with dated photographs provides objective evidence if there is a dispute over deposit deductions. Without it, disagreements often become costly and time-consuming.
