Landlord/ Tenant Checklist
A Landlord/ Tenant Checklist, inventorying the condition of the rental property, is an excellent device to protect both you and your tenant when the tenant moves out and wants the security deposit returned. You should also take pictures, videos, and/or, a 360-degree picture (one for each room) so you can easily visually document the condition of the unit upon tenant move-in.

Never sign a rental agreement, let a tenant move furniture into your property, or give the tenant a key until you have the first month’s rent and security deposit.
