01 / THE PROPERTY

Start with the basics.

Names are optional
Include these areas

A general checklist for keys, thermostat and alarms is included. Customize every room and item next.

A few minutes now. A clearer record later.

Make the walkthrough count.

01

Check what is there.

Start with walls, floors, doors, windows and fixtures in each room. Add appliances, outdoor areas and access devices that belong to the rental. Remove items that do not apply, or mark them Not applicable.

02

Be specific about damage.

“Three-inch scratch near the bedroom door” is more useful than “floor worn.” Record the location, size and appearance. Describe damage in the notes even when the overall condition is Good or Fair.

03

Take photos with context.

Take a wide view to show the location, then a close-up of the damage. Keep the original dated files and name them for the room and item they show, so each photo is easy to line up with the checklist later.

04

Review the same record.

Walk through together where possible. Compare notes, add anything missed, and give both landlord and tenant a copy of the completed checklist. Optional signature lines are included for signing on paper.

This tool records observed condition. It does not replace professional testing or establish that a property meets local requirements.

A few practical questions.

Can I print a blank checklist without signing up?

Yes. Choose your rooms, create a blank checklist, then use Download PDF or Print. Conditions, notes and counts are left blank for handwriting.

Can I change the rooms and checklist items?

Yes. Rename rooms, add or remove rooms, and edit individual items to match the property. Include only areas and fixtures that are present.

Should I take condition photos too?

Yes. Photograph anything you describe in the notes, then keep those files with the completed checklist. Name them for the room and item so the two records match later.

Where is my checklist saved?

The draft stays in this browser while you work, so you can close the tab and come back on the same device. It is not uploaded anywhere. Download the PDF to keep a copy you can file, print or email.

Keep every inspection with the property.

Your PDF is free to download and use on its own. When you want inspections for all your rentals in one place, TenantHub keeps the checklist, condition photos and signatures with each property — ready the moment a tenant moves out.
