The Rental AgreementRental Agreement • February 10th, 2009
At the beginning of the tenancy the landlord must provide the tenant with a written statement of the condition of the premises. The landlord is also required to provide a list of damage and cleaning charges assessed to the previous tenant upon the tenant's request. Many landlords choose to have their tenants fill out a "check-in" sheet or like the condition of premises form in our sample & model rental forms page (www.montpirg.com) in order to comply with this requirement. The condition of premises report is important because without it there is no evidence of the condition of the unit when the tenant moved in. The report protects the tenant from being charged for conditions that existed prior to the beginning of the tenancy and provides the landlord with the evidence necessary to withhold money from the security deposit for damages caused by the tenant.
