64 items, plus keys and signature blocks for both move-in and move-out. Print it and record the condition of each item during your walkthrough, then both parties sign.
How to use the inspection checklist
Walk through the unit together at move-in. Mark the condition of each item, note anything already worn or damaged, and both of you sign and date it. Do the same walkthrough at move-out and compare the two columns.
A clear, signed record at both ends is the best protection for the deposit, and it is what the Tenant and Landlord Relations Office looks for if there is a dispute. Take dated photos too, and each party should keep a copy.
Common questions
Do I need a move-in inspection in New Brunswick?
It is strongly recommended. A condition inspection at move-in and again at move-out gives both sides a clear, dated record. That record protects the deposit and helps settle any dispute.
What should a rental inspection checklist include?
Every room and area, with the condition of floors, walls, windows, appliances, and plumbing. Add safety items like smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. It should have move-in and move-out columns, keys issued and returned, and signatures from both parties.
Who keeps the inspection report?
Both the landlord and tenant should sign it and keep a copy, along with dated photos. If there is ever a deposit dispute, the Tenant and Landlord Relations Office can rely on it.
