Property Condition Move-in/Move-out

It's important when a tenant moves out that the unit will be ready for a new renter right away to minimize vacancies. We utilize a comprehensive Property Inventory and Condition matrix to document the various elements of the unit both before and after each tenant. This inspection not only provides a record in the event that damage occurs, but also serves as a thorough review of the premises, revealing whether any preventative maintenance or repairs need to be completed at that time.  The inspection is conducted room by room, and upon completion the tenant signs an acknowledgement of the accuracy of the property assessment. Items on the Property Inventory and Condition Form include but are not limited to:

	Unit completely free of trash and all dust, and floors vacuumed and/or swept
	Bathrooms and kitchen, including fixtures and appliances, thoroughly cleaned
	Light bulbs in all fixtures in working order
