Rental Inspection Checklist, Free Printable PDF

A rental inspection checklist gives landlords and tenants the same written record of how each room looked on move-in day — before a dispute over carpet stains or wall scuffs. This layout opens with a two-bedroom layout: separate blocks for each room, move-in and move-out columns side by side, and ruled notes lines for damage descriptions.

Photograph everything on the same day you fill the form, both parties sign the same copy, and note pre-existing damage rather than leaving a cell blank — a blank cell reads as “no damage” later. Use the controls below to switch property size, columns, or paper before downloading.

For move-in-only or move-out-only copies, browse the dedicated layouts on this tool.

A condition record, not a legal form. Security deposit rules and inspection requirements vary by state and by lease.
