A home checklist for renters

Start with observations you can make safely and information already available. Identify your water supplier, locate equipment instructions and note recurring moisture or maintenance issues. Keep your own dated record.

Practical steps

Separate tasks you can perform under your lease from building work that belongs with the property manager or a qualified professional. Use plain descriptions such as recurring condensation or an active leak. Do not treat a website score or consumer device as a legal habitability determination.

Next step

Print the room checklist and use it to organize communication. No address, landlord details or personal health information are needed by this website.
