How Do I Manage Move-In and Move-Out Checklists?
You manage them by using the same digital checklist at move-in and at move-out, with photos for each room, so differences are visible and disputes can be settled with evidence. On Jestor, this runs through Forms, Tasks, and a unit record that stores both reports.
Move-out is where many disagreements start: who damaged what, what was already worn, and how much of the deposit should be returned. Without a clear baseline, everyone relies on memory.
What informal moves cost
- Disputes about the condition of the unit
- Deposits withheld or returned without clear evidence
- Keys not recorded when handed over or returned
- Cleaning and repair tasks forgotten between tenants
How structured move checklists work
- The same checklist is used at move-in and move-out
- Photos for each room attach to the record
- Differences between the two reports are easy to compare
- Tasks are created for cleaning, repairs, and key handover
Why Jestor fits this use case
- Evidence reduces conflicts at move-out
- Tenants and owners see the same record
- Turnaround between tenants becomes faster
- This scales from a few moves a month to a large portfolio
