Pre-Move and Post-Move Inspections

Create a Professional, Legally-Protective Inspection Record with Ease

Rental property inspections are essential for documenting the condition of a property before, during, and after a tenant’s lease period. A well-done inspection record helps reduce security deposit disputes, protect you from damage claims, and offer legal documentation when needed. Landlord Cart makes this process faster and easier by removing the need for long printed forms, spreadsheets, and complicated software.

We use the “rental car” methodology to help landlords streamline inspections. What is this? Much like when you rent a car, instead of checking off every single feature, you simply identify what is not in good condition. You begin with the assumption that the items are fine, unless marked otherwise. This eliminates unnecessary steps and lets you focus only on issues such as damages, missing items, safety concerns, or maintenance needs.

This approach saves time and improves accuracy, especially during move-in and move-out inspections. Prefer a traditional checklist that documents every item? No problem. Landlord Cart also allows full-item entry, handwritten scan uploads, and photo documentation in your report for maximum detail and legal protection.
