• The Statement sets out the amount of the original security deposit and any additional deposits, less any deductions being made for unpaid rent or utilities, cleaning charges, repair charges, etc.
• It also sets out whether a refund is being paid to the tenant or if any additional amount is still owing to the landlord.

• The Agreement establishes what is called a "periodic tenancy" because it runs from rental period to rental period (month to month or week to week).

Each time a tenant moves out, go through the premises and fill in this Pre-Occupancy Repairs Checklist of things that need fixing before a new tenant moves in.

• The checklist can be used by rental property managers and landlords anywhere in the United States.
• The checklist should be completed whenever a tenant moves out.
• The form addresses all the areas that should be inspected (fixtures, appliances, flooring, windows, etc.) to note if any repairs or upgrades are needed before new tenants view the rental unit.
• This is NOT an inspection or premises condition report, but it is a means of recording items that need to be addressed prior to showing the vacant unit.
• This checklist makes your life easier by tracking and recording every repair that needs to be done.
• Available in MS Word format.
