Explanation
A move-in/move-out checklist documents the condition of a rental unit at the time a tenant moves in and again when they move out. Under the Chicago RLTO and best practices statewide, this helps establish what damage (if any) was caused by the tenant versus pre-existing conditions. It protects landlords against false claims and tenants against improper security deposit deductions.
