Check Out

A property check-out report is a detailed document prepared when a tenant vacates a rental property at the end of their lease term. It serves as a record of the property's condition at the time of the tenant's departure and is compared against the initial check-in report to assess any changes, damages, or wear and tear that occurred during the tenancy. Here are the key components typically included in a property check-out report:
​

1. Property Details: Basic information about the rental property, including its address, type (e.g., apartment, house), and any unique identifiers (e.g., unit number).
2. Date and Time of Check-Out: The report should clearly state the date and time when the check-out inspection was conducted, usually shortly after the tenant has vacated the premises.
3. Details of Parties Present: Names and signatures of the landlord/agent, the outgoing tenant(s), and any witnesses present during the check-out inspection.
4. Comparison with Check-In Report: A side-by-side comparison with the initial check-in report to assess any changes or damages to the property since the start of the tenancy. This includes reviewing the condition of fixtures, fittings, appliances, furnishings, and any other relevant areas.
5. Condition of Property: The report should note any new damages, defects, or issues that have arisen during the tenancy, as well as changes in the condition of previously noted items. This may include damages caused by the tenant's negligence or normal wear and tear over time.
6. Utility Readings: Meter readings for utilities such as gas, electricity, water, and any other services provided. These readings help determine the final usage during the tenancy period and may be used to calculate any outstanding utility charges.
7. Cleaning and Maintenance: Assessment of the cleanliness of the property, including any cleaning or maintenance tasks required to restore it to its original condition. This may include tasks such as carpet cleaning, painting, or repairs to damaged areas.
8. Photographs or Video: Visual documentation, such as photographs or video recordings, can supplement the written description of the property's condition. These visual records provide additional evidence and clarity, especially in case of disputes.
9. Tenant's Comments or Disputes: The tenant may have their own comments, disputes, or disagreements regarding the condition of the property as noted in the check-out report. These should be documented and addressed accordingly.
10. Return of Keys and Possession: Confirmation of the return of keys and full possession of the property by the landlord/agent.

A well-prepared property check-out report helps ensure a fair assessment of the property's condition at the end of the tenancy and facilitates the return of the tenant's security deposit in accordance with the terms of the lease agreement. It provides transparency, accountability, and a clear record of any damages or issues that may need to be addressed before a new tenant moves in.
