Move-In Condition Report
Establish what the property was like on day one, in a document both sides signed, so the end of the tenancy is not an argument from memory.
Rental property · RP-11
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.
One page. Choose your paper size — both versions are laid out identically, so neither one gets shrunk to fit.
Print it and write on it
Fill it in type and save
The fillable versions have real form fields — open them in any PDF reader, type into them and save. Printing help.
Compare like with like at the end of a tenancy, so any deduction rests on a documented difference rather than an impression.
Landlords, agents and tenants at the end of a tenancy.
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.

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.
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.
Establish what the property was like on day one, in a document both sides signed, so the end of the tenancy is not an argument from memory.
Make each deduction defensible by writing down the reason, the amount and where the photograph or invoice is at the time you make it.
Know how many keys exist and where they are, so you can tell whether a lock actually needs changing.
The same subject, with a version you can fill in on screen.
The steps to complete before any money moves, ticked in order.
Every item in each room, and in the shared kitchen, bathroom and lounge.
The leaver's share of each final bill, based on days present.
Condition at the start and at the end, side by side, for every item.
Every sheet, binder, game and puzzle on Upkeep Papers is free to download, with no email and no account. Making them is not free: each one takes days of research, design and checking, and the site costs money to run. If something here saved you time, you can buy us a coffee. It is entirely optional: nothing is locked, and nothing changes if you don’t.
