Move-Out Condition Report

A free printable check-out report — the condition of each room set against how it was at move-in, with the change and the action noted.

First page of the Move-Out Condition Report — Compare like with like at the end of a tenancy, so any deduction rests on a documented difference rather than an impression.

What this sheet is for

Compare like with like at the end of a tenancy, so any deduction rests on a documented difference rather than an impression.

Who it is for

Landlords, agents and tenants at the end of a tenancy.

How to use it

  1. Work from the move-in report, line by line. Record the change, not the condition.
  2. Photograph anything you intend to claim for, from the same angle as before if you can.
  3. Take final meter readings and record the keys returned.
  4. Get a forwarding address before the tenant leaves.
  5. Both sides sign. Anything not agreed, write down as not agreed.

What is on the sheet

One page, top to bottom:

Printed under the title: The condition of every room at the end of a tenancy, set against how it was at the start.

Compare against the move-in report. Work from the move-in report, room by room, and record the difference rather than the condition. Fair wear and tear is a judgement, and what counts as fair depends on how long the tenancy ran — no thresholds are printed here. This is a record sheet, not a legal document and not legal advice. What a tenancy requires — notice periods, deposit protection, the certificates that must be held and how long records must be kept — depends entirely on where the property is. Establish those locally and keep this alongside them.

Questions

Is this a legal document?

No, and it is not legal advice. It is a record sheet. What a tenancy legally requires — notice periods, how a deposit must be held, which certificates must be in place and how long records must be kept — depends entirely on where the property is, and it changes. Nothing of that kind is printed here. Establish what applies to you locally and keep this alongside it.

What counts as fair wear and tear?

No thresholds are printed on this sheet, deliberately. What is fair depends on how long the tenancy ran, how many people lived there and what the item was like to begin with — which is exactly why the move-in report matters.
