Why Use a Move-Out Checklist?
The #1 reason landlords withhold security deposits is for cleaning and damage issues that could have been prevented with proper move-out preparation.
This checklist helps you document the condition of your rental, complete required cleaning, and protect yourself from unfair deductions. Taking dated photos before and after is especially important if disputes arise.
Know your exact deadline
Enter your state and move-out date to see when your landlord must pay.
Remember: your landlord has a legal deadline to return your deposit. If they miss it, you may be entitled to penalties under your state's law.
Everything you need to get your deposit back.
