Move-in photo checklist for landlords
Use this checklist to capture move-in inspection photos room by room before or during tenant move-in. Pair it with check4u when you want a shared PDF both sides can keep.
Why move-in photos matter
Clear move-in photos help landlords and tenants agree on the starting condition of each room. A simple photo record keeps rental condition photos and comments in one place.
What to capture room by room
For each room, take wide shots of walls, floors, ceilings, windows, and fixed fittings. Add close-ups of marks, scratches, or wear you want noted in the record.

Quick room checklist
- Kitchen benches, sink, cupboards, stove, floors, and splashbacks
- Bathroom tiles, shower or bath, vanity, toilet, and ventilation
- Bedrooms and living areas including walls, floors, doors, windows, and wardrobes

What not to photograph
Avoid personal items that identify tenants or neighbours. Focus on the property condition, not people or private documents.
