Once a resident submits a 30 day notice, a letter is sent to them from the accounting department advising them to call and schedule their move-out inspection. If the resident does not call you’re not required to do it. (Check with your city or state regulations) The inspection needs to be scheduled no more than 14 days prior to the move-out date. The purpose of the move-out inspection is to simply view the property and give the resident a copy of the cleaning checklist. Usually the home still has furniture in it and you will not be able to do the cosmetic and structural inspections that are completed when doing a FWT. When the resident vacates the home, they might put a hole in the wall with the furniture or there might be a stain on the carpet that has been covered up so this is why we don’t discuss actual damage costs with the resident at the move out. Try to encourage the resident to sign the cleaning checklist to save them time.  They know exactly how much that will cost.  

You can find the cleaning checklist in M1 in Leasing/Forms/Cleaning Checklist.

You will use the “Resident Move-Out Checklist” form to be completed while touring the house left to right. Once the inspection is complete you will sign it along with the resident. This form is a carbon copy form that should be stocked in the inspection vehicle or in the property inspector desk.
