If you are a landlord, it’s a good idea to add another form to your package of documents for new tenants, even though this one is not required. Using a Check In Sheet for each unit, with each new tenant, can save you a lot of trouble in the long run.

The Check In Sheet benefits both landlord and tenant, because it’s an opportunity for you to walk through the property together, make a written note of all existing damage, and list any personal property that’s included. This will eliminate any question in the future as to when damage occurred, or whether a piece of furniture is missing. Just be sure to include everyone’s signature on the sheet.
